Which term means 'order of events'?

• A. Compensatory
• B. Chronology
• C. Concave
• D. Concise

Answer: (B)

The concept here is recognizing the word that denotes the order in which events happen. Chronology specifically refers to arranging events in the sequence they occur over time, and it's the term you use when you create a timeline or discuss the order of historical events. The reason it’s the best fit is that it captures the progression of time and sequencing—the very idea of “order of events.” For example, a biography or history lesson might present events in chronology to show how one event leads to another. The other terms don’t describe sequencing: compensatory relates to offsetting or making up for something; concave describes a curve that curves inward; concise means brief and to the point.
