How many years passed between Henry Tudor's victory at Bosworth in 1485 and the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 103 years
- Step 1: Bosworth was fought in 1485 and the Armada was beaten in 1588. Step 2. Subtract: 1588 - 1485 = 103. Answer: 103 years. Why not the others: 93 and 113 slip by ten, and 88 is the last two digits of the later date.
