    Correct Answer
    A. Trinovantes
    Explanation
    Boudicca did not sack the Roman settlement of Trinovantes. Trinovantes was a tribe in pre-Roman Britain, and it is not mentioned in historical records that Boudicca attacked or sacked their settlement. Boudicca is famously known for leading an uprising against the Roman Empire in AD 60-61, during which she successfully sacked and destroyed the Roman settlements of Londinium (modern-day London), Camulodunum (modern-day Colchester), and Verulium (modern-day St Albans). However, Trinovantes is not associated with any recorded attacks by Boudicca.

    Explanation
    Boudicca's armies were said to consist of 70,000 people. This number indicates the estimated size of the armies that Boudicca led during her rebellion against the Roman Empire in ancient Britain. It suggests that she was able to gather a significant force to challenge the Roman occupation.

    • Divine Intervention

    • The Romans outnumbered them

    • Cian Driver showed up

    Correct Answer
    A. Women and children got in the way
    Explanation
    The Celts lost the battle because women and children got in the way. This suggests that their presence hindered the Celts' ability to fight effectively or maneuver strategically. It implies that the Celts may have prioritized protecting their vulnerable members instead of focusing solely on the battle, which ultimately led to their defeat.
