What is the Spanish translation for 'Silence'?

• A. Calles
• B. Silenciar
• C. Quieto
• D. Silencio

Answer: (D)

Translating the noun "silence" into Spanish yields silencio. It represents the state of quiet, which is exactly what the word describes in English. Silencio is the direct noun form you’d use when talking about quietness, as in “There was silence in the room.” The other options don’t fit because calles means streets; silenciar is the verb “to silence” (to hush someone); quieto means quiet or still as an adjective, not the noun for quietness.
