Which term means occur again, periodically, or repeatedly?

• A. Pattern
• B. Recurring
• C. Integers
• D. Terminating Decimals

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is to identify a word that means something happens again in a regular, repeating way. Recurring fits perfectly because it literally means occurring again, periodically, or repeatedly. In math or daily usage, you might hear about recurring events or recurring decimals, which repeat a pattern indefinitely, illustrating the same idea of repetition. A pattern describes a repeated form or arrangement, which is related but doesn’t directly name the act of happening again. Integers are whole numbers, and terminating decimals are decimals that end after a finite number of digits. So the best choice for “occur again, periodically, or repeatedly” is recurring.
