Which term best matches the meaning: a collection of episodes of a television show that use the same characters in different situations?

• A. Sector
• B. Security
• C. Series
• D. Sequence

Answer: (C)

In a TV context, a series refers to a collection of episodes that feature the same characters in different situations. The idea is that the ongoing cast and premise connect the episodes, even as each episode presents new plots or settings. This is different from a sequence, which is simply an ordered list of things without implying a TV show, or a sector, which is a region, or security, which relates to safety. A season is a subset of a series, produced at a particular time, but the question describes the whole program rather than a single subset. So the term that fits best is series.
