Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word.
Life expectancy is the measure of the average life span of a particular group of people.

• A. Age
• B. Range
• C. Condition
• D. Mortality
• E. Trait

Answer 1

The correct option is B Range

'Span' means the full extent of something from end to end; the amount of space that something covers.

"a warehouse with a clear span of 28 feet"

In this context, "Life expectancy is the measure of the average life span of a particular group of people", 'span' means range. Hence, option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
