However, this question is wrong, at best ambiguous in the extreme.... newton lived between 1643 and 1727 (believe it or not I didn't even need to look that up!) and therefore none of the answers are correct based on the wording of the question..

2. When did Isaac Newton predict that the end of the world would occur?

I believe Andrew is erroneously trying to answer the question-

"In what year did Isaac Newton make his prediction about when the end of the world would occur"

Rather than the question actually asked.

No, the question asked 'when did he make the prediction?'.

The question is poorly written.
