Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Elizabeth II is crowned Queen of England in 1952. This is a monarchy because a monarchy consists of a government where one of the individuals reigns until death or abdication. A huge portion of the time that reigning individual is from a royal family. Elizabeth II is the Queen of 16 of the 53 member states in the Commonwealth of Nations and is also Head of the Commonwealth and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
