Part 2. Example
Passage: The French and Indian War (17541763) was the North American theater of the worldwide Seven Years' War. The war was fought between the colonies of British America and New France, with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France, as well as Native American allies. At the start of the war, the French North American colonies had a population of roughly 60,000 European settlers, compared with 2 million in the British North American colonies. The outnumbered French particularly depended on the Indians. Long in conflict, the metropole nations declared war on each other in 1756, escalating the war from a regional affair into an intercontinental conflict. Question: When was the French and Indian War?
Answer: 1754-1763
Explanation: It is a common convention to write (start year-end year) beside a historical event to understand when the event happened. We can observe a similar notation from the passage to conclude that the French and Indian War happened during 17541763. Therefore, the answer is 17541763.
Part 3. Exercise
Passage: Stadium attendances are a significant source of regular income for Premier League clubs. For the 200910 season, average attendances across the league clubs were 34,215 for Premier League matches with a total aggregate attendance figure of 13,001,616. This represents an increase of 13,089 from the average attendance of 21,126 recorded in the league's first season (199293). However, during the 199293 season the capacities of most stadiums were reduced as clubs replaced terraces with seats in order to meet the Taylor Report's 199495 deadline for all-seater stadiums. The Premier League's record average attendance of 36,144 was set during the 200708 season. This record was then beaten in the 201314 season recording an average attendance of 36,695 with a total attendance of just under 14 million, the highest average in England's top flight since 1950. Question: Are attendance remittances that important to the Premier League?
Answer:
Stadium attendances are a significant source of regular income for Premier League clubs.
