How many years passed from the time Virginia was settled until the Pilgrims reached Plymouth Rock?

• A. 13 years
• B. 25 years
• C. 8 years
• D. 40 years

Answer: (A)

The question tests your ability to calculate the time gap between two historical dates. Virginia’s settlement began in 1607 (Jamestown), and the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock in 1620. Subtracting 1607 from 1620 gives 13 years, so thirteen years passed between these events. The other numbers would require different dates (for example, 8 years would imply 1615, 25 years would imply 1632, and 40 years would imply 1647), which don’t match the given events.
