The last date of the month that any purchase you made with your card or any payment made on your account was posted to your account.

• A. Want
• B. Credit
• C. Billing Date
• D. World Wide Web

Answer: (C)

This question tests understanding of billing terminology. The date that serves as the cutoff for the monthly cycle—when all card purchases and payments posted up to that point are included in your statement—is the billing date (often called the statement date). It marks the end of the billing period and determines which transactions appear on that month’s statement. The other options don’t fit this concept: “Want” isn’t a financial term, “Credit” refers to borrowing or a credit line, and “World Wide Web” is the internet.
