Which statement about time is true?

Explanation:
Time is about how long something lasts—the duration from start to finish of an event. We measure it with clocks in units like seconds. Time is a scalar quantity, meaning it has magnitude but no direction. It isn’t a rate of anything (that would be energy transfer per time, i.e., power). So the statement that time is the duration of an event is the true one.
