Right
Correct! The Glorious Revolution was a coup in England during which King James II was overthrown. To arrive at this answer, you can use a combination of historical knowledge and logical reasoning.
First, recall that the Glorious Revolution occurred in England. This eliminates options C and D, which both refer to events in the American colonies.
Next, consider the key figures involved. The Glorious Revolution centered around the monarchy in England, so it is reasonable to expect that the answer will involve a king. This narrows down the options to A and B.
To determine the correct answer, you need to recall who was overthrown in the Glorious Revolution. King James II was the monarch in power during this time, and he was indeed overthrown by a coalition of English Parliamentarians who supported Protestantism. Therefore, the correct answer is B, "coup in England during which King James II was overthrown."
