Answer 1

Hello,

I would say the correct answer is A) The abbreviation "B.C." should be associated with a number such as "44 B.C."

I believe this is true because B.C. states a place in time, and it needs a number to go with it. You can't say "That was before Christ." You need to say "That was 44 B.C."
