Answer 1

Ответ:

e) Nineteen seventeen

Answer 2

The correct variant for expressing the year 1917 in English is b) One thousand nine hundred seventeen.

In English, when expressing a four-digit year, we typically break it down into groups of two digits. The first group represents the thousands and hundreds, and the second group represents the tens and ones.

Let's break down the year 1917:

- The thousands and hundreds place: 19 - The tens and ones place: 17

To express the thousands and hundreds place, we say "one thousand nine hundred." To express the tens and ones place, we say "seventeen."

So, when combining these two groups, we get "one thousand nine hundred seventeen" for the year 1917.

Here are the options you provided and the explanations for why they are incorrect:

- a) One thousand nine hundred and seventeen: This option adds the word "and" between "hundred" and "seventeen," which is not necessary or commonly used in English. - c) One thousand nine hundreds and seventeen: This option incorrectly uses the plural form "hundreds" instead of "hundred." - d) One thousand and seventeen: This option only includes the tens and ones place, omitting the thousands and hundreds place. - e) Nineteen seventeen: This option skips breaking down the year into groups of two digits and directly states the numbers as "nineteen" and "seventeen," which is not the standard way of expressing a four-digit year in English.

Therefore, the correct variant is b) One thousand nine hundred seventeen.
