Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.

It means that something will last for a long time, or forever. It is often used to describe something resistant to decay or destruction. In the context of diamonds, imperishable is a more precise term, as it conveys the idea that diamonds are resistant to wear and damage.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Eternal: without an end; existing or continuing forever.

  • Enduring: lasting for a long time.

  • Forever : used for a particular situation or state that will always exist.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Diamonds are imperishable ."
