Question

What event in history do we use to mark year 1 on the calendar? A: The date in which humans began recording time. B: The beginning of the first known civilization. C: The approximate year of the first human beings. D: The approximate date of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Answer 1

D: The approximate date of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calendar is divided into two eras-- BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini). Anno Domini is the term derived from Latin which means 'in the yeaar of our Lord.' The calendar is recognised based on the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Thus AD 1 or year 1 on the calendar marks the approximate date of the birth of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the correct option is D.
