Answer 2

(c) ii— i—iv —iii is the correct chronological sequence of incidents of the French Revolution.

Explanation:

• Louis XVI convened a General Assembly of the Estates on May 5, 1789, to discuss tax proposals. The French estates in the realm were represented by the Estates General.

• The Tennis Court Oath was taken on June 20, 1789, by members of the French Third Estate, who swore "not to divide and reassemble wherever circumstances need, until the kingdom's Constitution is founded.

• An outraged mob attacked and demolished the Bastille fort on July 14, 1789, which the revolutionaries saw as an emblem of royalty.

• After popular uprisings, Louis XVI ultimately recognised the National Assembly on August 4, 1789, and realised that the Constitution would limit his authority.

Therefore, (c) ii— i—iv —iii is the correct answer.
