Answer 1

Pair of sentences 2 completes the diagram showing the course of the French Revolution: "French society is divided into estates. France implements the Napoleonic Code."

Step-by-step explanation:

The course of the French Revolution is outlined chronologically through key events:

The division of French society into estates signifies the pre-revolutionary period, where social inequality and discontent were prevalent.

The implementation of the Napoleonic Code, representing Napoleon Bonaparte's rule, is a significant post-revolutionary development that standardized laws in France.

Options 1, 3, and 4 are not in chronological order or context:

Option 1 refers to the early phase of the revolution, but its second sentence is unrelated to the Reign of Terror.

Option 3 discusses events after the Reign of Terror without a clear link to the Napoleonic Code.

Option 4 connects the Napoleonic Wars with the National Convention but lacks chronological coherence.

Option B is the answer.
