Answer 1

A. The Black Death began in Europe in 1347 C.E.

B. The Roman Empire fell to Germanic Tribes in A.D. 476.

These are the only two written correctly

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The Black Death began in Europe in 1347 C.E.

This is because time-related terms such as B.C., A.D., B.C.E. and C.E. are supposed to be used after the year. This statement is the only one in which the term was used correctly.
