The grouping of recorded facts by date and timeline, usually from the first event to the last, is described by which term?

• A. Civil liability
• B. Chronologically
• C. Civil right violation
• D. Classification

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is arranging information in time order, from the earliest event to the latest, which is called chronological organization.

Putting recorded facts in a timeline by date helps you see the sequence of events clearly. In reports or investigations, this order makes it easier to determine what happened first, what followed, and how each event relates to others. That temporal flow is what makes a chronology useful for reconstructing events and verifying testimonies.

Civil liability and civil rights violation refer to legal claims and rights issues, not to how data are ordered. Classification means grouping by category or type, not by time. So the term that describes organizing facts by date from first to last is chronological.
