A pendulum requires 2 seconds to complete a cycle, which consists of a complete back-and-forth oscillation (extreme point to equilibrium to opposite extreme point back to equilibrium and finally to the original extreme point). As long as the amplitude of the motion (the amplitude is the distance from the equilibrium position to the extreme point) is small compared to the length of the pendulum, the time required for a cycle is independent of the amplitude.
How long does it take to get from one extreme point to the other, how long from an extreme point to equilibrium, and how long to go from extreme point to equilibrium to opposite extreme point and back to equilibrium?

What reasonable assumption did you make to arrive at your answers?
If a pendulum takes 2 seconds to complete a cycle, it should take half of that to complete a half of a cycle. So, the pendulum should take 1 second to complete a half of a cycle.

@& Correct statement, and at least one of the intervals described requires half a cycle.
However not all do. There are three questions, and they do not all have the same answer.*@
