Hmmm

Which one of these statements about the Bronze Age is false?
1. It followed the Stone Age
2. People cremated their dead
3. It was before the Iron Age
4. People lived in roundhouses

Well Ages were Stone, Bronze, Iron.

Not sure about cremation practices (in England or elsewhere.
Not sure about the roundhouses either.
Presumably just in England.

Probably go with 2. Cremation

Lost again…

Must be Stone Age.

They go Neolithic to Bronze to Iron. So while Stone age would be before Bronze, probably not for this question.

Some cremations, some burials.
Some round houses…

Bad question.

“ As the Bronze Age ended, and the Iron Age began, cremation continued to be a popular method of burial, but there was also later a shift towards using cemeteries to bury the dead. Human sacrifices such as the Lindow Man were practiced, although they do seem to be relatively rare, with animal sacrifices being more common. Occasionally, burials in pits at the bottom of hillforts have been found, or even the odd chariot burial, associated with the Arras culture found mainly in East Yorkshire.”
