Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the historical context of New York's governance:

Event 1: "The owner of New York appoints the governor of the colony."

• New York was originally a Dutch colony (New Netherland) and later granted to the Duke of York (who "owned" it in a proprietary sense) in the mid - 1600s. Proprietary governors were appointed by the owner (the Duke) before New York became a royal colony. So this event is likely Before the late 1600s.

Event 2: "The king of England appoints the governor of New York and New Jersey."

• New York and New Jersey became royal colonies (governors appointed by the King of England) in the early 1700s (after the proprietary period ended). So this event is likely In the 1700s.

Final Answers:

• For "The owner of New York appoints the governor of the colony": Mark the "Before the late 1600s" option.
• For "The king of England appoints the governor of New York and New Jersey": Mark the "In the 1700s" option.
