Question

Arrange the UN Secretaries-General in chronological order: 1. Kofi Annan
2. Ban Ki-moon
3. Antonio Guterres
4. Boutros Boutros-Ghali

• A. 4, 1, 2, 3
• B. 1, 2, 3, 4
• C. 4, 3, 2, 1
• D. 2, 1, 3, 4

Hint:

To remember the recent order, use the "ABC" logic: Annan came before Ban, and Guterres is the most recent. Since Boutros-Ghali (4) preceded them all in the 90s, the order 4-1-2-3 is easily identified.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: The Secretary-General is the chief administrative officer of the United Nations. Understanding the chronological sequence of their tenures helps illustrate the evolution of UN leadership through various global eras.

Step 1: Determining the years of tenure for each Secretary-General listed in image_566277.jpg.
• Boutros Boutros-Ghali (4): Served from 1992 to 1996.
• Kofi Annan (1): Served from 1997 to 2006.
• Ban Ki-moon (2): Served from 2007 to 2016.
• Antonio Guterres (3): Has been serving since 2017. Arranging these individuals based on their starting years provides the sequence: 4, 1, 2, 3.
