Answer 1

The accurate statements about the English Civil War are:

1. Some English people supported the king, while others supported the Puritans in Parliament.

2. The group known as the Roundheads defeated the king's forces and won the war.

The other statements regarding the choice of a new king and the brevity of the war are not accurate. After the war, the monarchy was abolished and King Charles I was executed; there was no new king chosen from Parliament. The war was also not brief; it lasted several years with multiple battles across different regions, not just centered around London.
