What year was the Mayflower Compact signed?

  1. 1620

  2. 1776

  3. 1607

  4. 1492

The correct answer is: 1620

The Mayflower Compact was signed in 1620 as a framework for governing a new colony established by the Pilgrims in present-day Massachusetts. Option B, 1776, is the year of the Declaration of Independence and has no relation to the Mayflower Compact. Option C, 1607, is the year the Jamestown colony was established, which is not related to the signing of the Mayflower Compact. Option D, 1492, is the year Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas, which is also unrelated to the Mayflower Compact. Therefore, option A, 1620, is the only correct answer.
