You visit a cemetery. One of the tombstones read: "Born in the 15th century, died in the 16th." Make up possible dates that this person may have been born and dies.

Possible dates for this person's birth and death are:

Birth                     Death

1461                       1501

1475                      1515

1498                      1538

Explanation:

Let's first take into consideration that life expectancy in the 15th and 16th centuries was not nearly as high as it is today. In Europe, it was between 30 and 40 years of age. Let's assume this person was wealthy and healthy enough to live up to be 40. He/She had to die after the century had turned, that is, from 1501 on. With all that in mind, some of the several possibilities are:

Birth                     Death

1461                       1501

1475                      1515

1498                      1538

seeing as no choices were provided, i'll do my best to answer it from knowledge.

job specialization promotes work ethic to the person doing the job. he/she may be strong in the arms and able to lift things, specializing him/her in a job where you lift and carry.
