Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This statement is false because it contains a grammatical error: 'very long time period' is redundant. Correct phrasing would be either 'a very long time' or 'a very long period.' The word 'time' and 'period' serve the same function here, creating unnecessary repetition. Standard English requires avoiding such tautology.
