To solve this timeline problem, we need to put the events of George Washington’s life in the correct order — from earliest (1) to latest (5).
Let’s list the events and think about when they happened:
1.
George Washington is born.
→ This must be first. He was born in 1732.
2.
George Washington marries Martha Curtis.
→ He married Martha Dandridge Custis (note: her last name was Custis, not Curtis — but we’ll go with what’s written) in 1759. So this comes after his birth.
3.
Washington leads the army in the Revolutionary War.
→ The Revolutionary War happened from 1775–1783. He became commander-in-chief in 1775. So this is after his marriage.
4.
George Washington becomes the 1st US President.
→ He was elected president in 1789 and served two terms until 1797. So this is after the war.
5.
George Washington dies at his home.
→ He died on December 14, 1799, at Mount Vernon. This is the last event.
So the correct order is:
- Born → 1
- Marries Martha → 2
- Leads army in Revolutionary War → 3
- Becomes 1st President → 4
- Dies at home → 5
Now let’s match that to each row:
Row 1: “Washington leads the army in the Revolutionary war.” → Should be
3
Row 2: “George Washington is born.” → Should be
1
Row 3: “George Washington dies at his home.” → Should be
5
Row 4: “George Washington marries Martha Curtis.” → Should be
2
Row 5: “George Washington becomes the 1st US President.” → Should be
4
Final Answer:
Row 1: 3
Row 2: 1
Row 3: 5
Row 4: 2
Row 5: 4
