'Durante dos siglos' means what in English?

  1. During two decades

  2. For two centuries

  3. For two years

  4. Over two seasons

The correct answer is: For two centuries

The phrase "Durante dos siglos" translates to "For two centuries" in English. The word "durante" means "during" or "for" when speaking about time periods, and "siglos" is the plural form of "siglo," which means "century." Therefore, the phrase indicates a duration of time spanning two hundred years. This makes the choice "For two centuries" the correct interpretation of the original Spanish phrase. Contextually, the other options confuse the time frame being discussed: decades refers to a period of ten years, years obviously relates to a single calendar year, and seasons indicate a much shorter timeframe that does not align with the meaning of "siglos."
