understanding the passage

1. the author implies that william

the conqueror
a. was the first english king
crowned at westminster
abbey.
b. built the tower of london
with limited resources.
c. ruled england for twenty

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to analyze each option based on historical knowledge about William the Conqueror:

Option a:

William the Conqueror (William I) was indeed the first English king crowned at Westminster Abbey in 1066. This is a well - known historical fact.

Option b:

The Tower of London was built by William the Conqueror, but there is no historical evidence to suggest that he built it with limited resources. In fact, he had significant resources at his disposal after the Norman Conquest.

Option c:

The text of option c is incomplete, but William the Conqueror ruled England from 1066 until his death in 1087, which is more than twenty years, but the incomplete nature of the option and the fact that option a is a well - established historical fact make option a more likely.

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: William the Conqueror was the first English king crowned at Westminster Abbey (1066), a verified historical fact.
• Option b: No evidence supports he built the Tower of London with limited resources.
• Option c: Incomplete and less supported by known history compared to option a.

Answer:

a. was the first English king crowned at Westminster Abbey.
