How many years passed between the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the completion of the Domesday survey in 1086?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 20 years
- Step 1: Hastings was fought in 1066 and the Domesday survey dates from 1086. Step 2. Subtract: 1086 - 1066 = 20. Answer: 20 years. Why not the others: Ten and thirty are miscalculations, and 86 is the last two digits of the later year, not the gap.
