Question

How would an historian best respond to the comment, "History is simply a series of events in chronological order."

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: B:True, with fascinating information of who, what, where, why, and possibly some bias and perspective of the writer that we can explore.

In order to examine a historical event, a good historian would always try to see how the scene unfolding from the perspective of all parties involved in the event. Reading the recollection from only one party would most likely provide us with biased information that painted themselves in a positive ways.

Answer 2

I had this question on my history quiz earlier, your answer will be "from the time the earth was created until how it is today".
