Julius Caesar was assassinated in B.C. 44

William of Normandy crossed the English

Channel and defeated King Harold II in A.D. 1066.


Romulus Augustulus the last Roman emperor was taken prisoner by the German King out of a car in C.E. 476 ​

Answer 1

The sentences using time-related terms correctly are the assassination of Julius Caesar, and the conquest of King Harold II by William of Normandy. The mention of Alexander the great died in 324 B.C.E and Romulus Augustulus being taken from a car is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences that correctly use a time-related term are:

• Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C.
• William of Normandy crossed the English Channel and defeated King Harold II in A.D. 1066.

Alexander the great died in 323 B.C.E not in 324 B.C.E, this makes first statement incorrect.

The sentence about Romulus Augustulus is incorrect as it mentions he was taken prisoner 'out of a car', which is an anachronism as cars did not exist in C.E. 476. Instead, the correct event is that Romulus Augustulus, the last Roman emperor, was deposed by the Germanic King Odoacer in C.E. 476.

Answer 2

The correct sentences that use a time-related term correctly are:

1. Alexander the Great died in 324 B.C.E.

2. William of Normandy crossed the English Channel and defeated King Harold II in A.D. 1066.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander the Great died in 324 B.C.E.: This sentence is correct. It uses "B.C.E." (Before Common Era) appropriately to denote a historical time before the common era.

Julius Caesar was assassinated in B.C. 44: This sentence is incorrect. The correct format is "44 B.C." The abbreviation "B.C." (Before Christ) should come after the year, not before.

William of Normandy crossed the English Channel and defeated King Harold II in A.D. 1066: This sentence is correct. It uses "A.D." (Anno Domini) correctly to indicate a historical time in the common era.

Romulus Augustulus, the last Roman emperor, was taken prisoner by the German King out of a car in C.E. 476: This sentence is incorrect. While it correctly uses "C.E." (Common Era), the mention of a car is an anachronism. The use of "out of a car" is historically inaccurate, as cars did not exist in the year 476. The sentence appears to contain a humorous or mistaken addition.
