What is a synonym for "continuum"?

Scale
Assignments
Obey
Dishonesty

The correct answer is: Scale

A synonym for "continuum" is "scale" because both terms refer to a range or sequence of elements that are connected and vary along a certain dimension. A continuum often implies a smooth progression or an unbroken sequence, much like a scale that measures varying degrees of a particular quality or characteristic. In contrast, the other options do not carry a similar meaning. "Assignments" refers to tasks or duties given to someone, which is unrelated to the notion of a continuous range. "Obey" indicates a compliance or adherence to rules or authority, while "dishonesty" pertains to a lack of truthfulness. None of these words convey the concept of a continuous range or sequence, which is primarily captured by the term "scale."
