After Twenty Years MCQ Quiz

Jimmy Wells and Bob were very close friends. This can be inferred from the fact that they were mentioned together without any negative connotation or indication of conflict. The term "very close" implies a strong bond and positive relationship between the two individuals.

The correct answer is 20 years because the friends last saw each other two decades ago. The other options—1 year, 10 years, and 200 years—do not match the timeframe described, making 20 years the most appropriate choice.
