Answer 1

A historian who is using the chronological thinking skill would C. use a time line to order battles in a war.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. use a time line to order battles in a war

Chronological thinking means thinking and organizing thoughts in the order in which they happened. If you were to make a timeline of battles in the order in which they happened, that would be chronological thinking. You would be organizing any type of information in the time order in which it appeared. Other possible choices don't fit this.
