3) George I and George II
4) Charles II and Elizabeth

Answer 1

The rulers during the period of 1689-1702 were William III and Mary II, followed by Anne, and then the Electors of Hanover.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rulers during the period of 1689-1702 were William III and Mary II. They ruled jointly until Mary's death in 1694, after which William remained as the sole monarch until his death in 1702.

William and Mary were followed by Mary's younger sister Anne, who became the last Stuart ruler. During Anne's reign, the Act of Union was created, unifying the Parliaments of Scotland and England, and England became known as Great Britain.

Upon Anne's death, the English Crown passed to the nearest Protestant relatives of the Stuarts, the Electors of Hanover. George I was the first Hanoverian to take the throne of England.
