Question: 242

2. The phrase "from time to time" in line 1 has been interpreted to mean

  • A. once in a while
  • B. in a timely manner
  • C. annually
  • D. at a convenient time

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C is correct. The Constitution requires the president to give Congress information on the state of the union "from time to time." Throughout the passage, the State of the Union message is referred to as the president’s "annual message." Clearly, the phrase "from time to time" has come to mean "annually."
