Which of the following is equal to one century? Answer
The term "fivescore" is the most likely candidate to be equal to one century. "Score" traditionally refers to twenty, so "fivescore" would literally translate to five twenties, which equals one hundred.
The other options, "a quarter of a millennium" and "a lustre," are less common and don't directly translate to units of years. Millennium refers to one thousand years, so a quarter of a millennium would be 250 years. "Lustre" is an even less common term referring to five years, so five lustres would only be 25 years. Therefore, "fivescore years" is the most fitting choice for one century.
