Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The chronological order of the Greek philosophers is Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Pythagoras lived around 500 BCE and is credited with floating the idea of a spherical Earth. Socrates (c. 469–399 BCE) followed, known for the Socratic method and mentoring Plato [4]. Plato (c. 427–347 BCE), a student of Socrates, founded the Academy and later mentored Aristotle. Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was the student of Plato and later became the tutor of Alexander the Great [4]. This sequence (3-4-2-1) represents the historical progression of Greek thought from the pre-Socratic era (Pythagoras) through the 'Great Three' Athenian philosophers (Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle) who shaped Western philosophy [3].
