In what scenario would you describe a government as provisional?

When it has been established for years
When it is functioning with no changes anticipated
When it is temporarily in place
When it has full legal authority

The correct answer is: When it is temporarily in place

A government is described as provisional when it is temporarily in place, typically in response to a specific situation such as a transition period following a conflict, a coup, or while awaiting elections. Provisional governments are often established to manage immediate governance needs and maintain order until a more permanent and stable government can be formed through democratic processes or other means. In this context, a provisional government often has limited mandates and is not intended for long-term governance, which distinguishes it from a government that has been established for years or one that operates with no anticipated changes. Such governments typically have their authority and functions defined by a set period or specific conditions, highlighting their temporary nature.
