Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Brief
Brief means something of short duration; not lasting for long.
Why "Brief" is correct: It specifically describes short duration (for example, a brief meeting).
Why "Limited" is incorrect: It means restricted in extent or scope, not short in time.
Why "Small" is incorrect: It refers to physical size or amount rather than duration.
Why "Little" is incorrect: It usually denotes a small quantity or degree; it is not the best synonym for "short" when referring to time.
