Question

Fill in the blank with the correct word to complete the given definition:

The period between two reigns is called a _________.

• A. interregnum
• B. gap
• C. anachronism
• D. stasis

Answer 1

The correct option is A interregnum

Option A) interregnum is correct as it means a period when normal government is suspended, especially between successive reigns or regimes and best suits the given sentence. The other options are wrong as gap, anachronism, and stasis mean a break or hole in an object or between two objects, a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned, and a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium respectively. The correct answer is A) interregnum.
