Question

Arrange the following dates in chronological order:

1888 AD, 2356 BCE, 45 CE, 1776 AD, 919 BC, 12 BCE

Answer 1

The dates in chronological order are 2356 BCE, 919 BC, 12 BCE, 45 CE, 1776 AD, and 1888 AD, starting with the earliest date in BCE and ending with the most recent in AD/CE.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the following dates in chronological order: 2356 BCE, 919 BC, 12 BCE, 45 CE, 1776 AD, 1888 AD, we start with the earliest date, which is the one with the highest number in the BCE (Before Common Era) category, and end with the most recent date, which is the one with the highest number in the AD (Anno Domini)/CE (Common Era) category. BCE dates count backwards to year 0, and CE dates count forwards from year 0.

The chronological order of the dates is as follows:

1. 2356 BCE
2. 919 BC
3. 12 BCE
4. 45 CE
5. 1776 AD
6. 1888 AD

Note: BC and BCE are equivalent, as are AD and CE; BCE dates are before CE dates.
