Simple? Yes! A century is 100 __3 long. A millennium is 1,000 years long, which is __4 ten centuries.
Since the last year of the first century is the year 100, the first year of the __5 century is 101. Follow that pattern, century by century and you’ll get my __6. The year 2000 is the last year of the twentieth century. After all, __7 thousand means twenty hundreds. Twenty hundred years means twenty centuries. The year 2000 is the last , the final, the one that’s still here, year of the twentieth century!!!!
I know, I’m getting too __8 . But it isn’t fair. While most people will really be enjoying this coming __9 celebration, those of us in the know will be yawning. We'll be wet blankets at the party. Everyone else will be cheering for the new millennium and we’ll be saying, “It’s not until next year.”
I don’t agree with the saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” But in this case, perhaps it’s __10
Solution
