D. Homer composed the Iliad and Odyssey in about B.C.E. 750.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. The Black Death began in Europe in 1347 C.E.

This is because time-related terms such as B.C., A.D., B.C.E. and C.E. are supposed to be used after the year. This statement is the only one in which the term was used correctly.

Answer 2

A. The Black Death began in Europe in 1347 C.E.

B. The Roman Empire fell to Germanic Tribes in A.D. 476.

These are the only two written correctly
