Question

Arrange the following years from past to recent.
(most recent year at the bottom)

• A. 65 BC
• B. 2018 AD
• C. 29 BC
• D. 1718 AD
• E. 6 BC

Answer 1

BC means Before Christ.

$\therefore$ 65 BC means 65 years before Christ was born, while 6 BC means only 6 years befor Christ was born.

$\therefore$ 6 BC is more recent than 65 BC.

AD means Anno Domini.

So, 65 BC is in the farthest past, followed by 29 BC and 6 BC.

This is followed by AD years in usual order - 1718 AD and the most recent being 2018 AD.
