Tyler wrote a paper describing life in England in the eighteenth _________, from ______ to ______.
I think its A.
A.
century; 1801, 1900
B.
decade; 1701, 1800
C.
century; 1700, 1799
D.
century; 1701, 1800
If not A. then it has to be C,
This is the year 2014 -- in the 21st century -- so A is obviously wrong.
Fourteen years ago, there were arguments about when the 21st century started -- was it 2000 or 2001?
Wikipedia claims that the 18th century started in 1701. Other sources state that it started in 1700. Since there was no year 0, I lean toward D -- 1701 to 1800.
What does your book say?
To answer this question, we need to determine the correct time period for life in England in the eighteenth century.
To do this, let's break down the question:
Tyler wrote a paper describing life in England in the eighteenth _________, from ______ to ______.
The blank before "century" refers to a time period, and the blanks after "from" and "to" refer to the specific years in that time period.
Let's look at the answer choices:
A. century; 1801, 1900
B. decade; 1701, 1800
C. century; 1700, 1799
D. century; 1701, 1800
Option A can be eliminated because the years 1801 to 1900 fall into the nineteenth century, not the eighteenth century.
Option B can also be eliminated because it says "decade" instead of "century". We are looking for the time period of an entire century, not just ten years.
Option C covers the correct century, but it includes the year 1700. However, the eighteenth century technically starts with the year 1701, not 1700.
Option D accurately covers the correct century from 1701 to 1800. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
So, the correct answer is: D. century; 1701, 1800.
