Answer explanation
Choice A is the best answer. The sentence emphasizes the order in which the two marches occurred, correctly indiing that the US march (December 16 to December 28, 1912) occurred after the march in the UK (October 12 to November 16, 1912).
Choice B is incorrect. While the sentence mentions that both marches took place in the early 1900s, it doesn’t emphasize the order in which the two marches occurred. Choice C is incorrect. While the sentence does emphasize the order in which the two marches occurred, the order is incorrect. The UK march took place from October 12 to November 16, 1912, which was before the US march (December 1912). Choice D is incorrect. While the sentence specifies the dates of the UK march, it doesn’t mention the US march or emphasize the order in which the two marches occurred.
