• A. Lasting
• B. Temporary
• C. Eternal
• D. Brittle

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Temporary

• Ephemeral - അല്പായുസ്സുള്ള - means lasting for a very short time.

• Temporary - താത്കാലികം - means lasting for only a limited period of time; not permanent and is a perfect synonym.

• Example:

  • Ephemeral: "The beauty of cherry blossoms is ephemeral."

  • Temporary: "She took a temporary job while searching for something permanent."

• Lasting - നിലനിൽക്കുന്നത്

• Eternal - നിത്യമായ

• Brittle - പൊട്ടുന്ന
