Elizabeth I defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588. How many years later did her successor become king of England in 1603?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 15 years
- Step 1: The Armada was in 1588 and the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Step 2. Subtract: 1603 - 1588 = 15. Answer: 15 years. Why not the others: Five and twenty-five are miscalculations, and 45 is the length of her whole reign.
