How many years passed between the Balfour Declaration and the UN partition resolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Thirty years
- Step 1: The Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917. Step 2. Resolution 181 was adopted in 1947, and 1947 minus 1917 is 30. Answer: thirty years. Why not the others: the other numbers come from miscounting or from using other dates.
