Correct Answer: contemporaries
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
"Contemporaries" mean persons living in the same time period and is the appropriate choice for this sentence. Keats and Shelly were both living during the same time period, which makes them "contemporaries".
"Colleagues", "co-workers", and "associates" mean those who work together in a professional manner which is not mentioned in the sentence. Hence, "contemporaries" is the better choice.
The complete sentence is: "Keats and Shelly were poets of the same period; in other words, they were contemporaries. "
