Question

Choose the word that means “lasting for a long time.”

Thermometers allow us to check how warm or cool it is inside our home, the weather outside, or the temperature of our body. When we are sick, we sometimes have a fever, which means that our body’s temperature is higher than normal. Usually, fevers do not last long, so they are not considered chronic.
