• A. Few
• B. Later
• C. Earlier
• D. Many
• E. Some

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Later

'Subsequent' means coming after something in time; following.

"the theory was developed subsequent to the earthquake of 1906"

In this context, "Subsequent events proved the old politician to be right", 'subsequent' means later. Hence, option B is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
