C) 18th
D) 17th

Answer 1

Answer:

20th Century

Explanation:

The New English Bible was published in the 20th Century in the year 1961 near the time when the English Revised Version was due to expire (1935). It is during this period the Cambridge University Press (CUP) and Oxford University Press (OUP) Copywrite holders began to investigate the necessity of a modern revision of the English Revised Version. In October 1946 it was determined that a completely new translation be undertaken rather than a revision. The translators of the New English Bible chose to render their translation using a principle of translation called dynamic equivalence.
