Answer 4

Sir Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister for Britain from 10 May 1940 (when he succeeded Neville Chamberlain) to 26th July 1945 (when he was replaced by Clement Attlee).

The answer is correct, but let's be clear about this: he, like his predecessors and successors, was PM of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, not just England, which is the largest and most important part of the UK, but should not be confused with it.

Winston Churchill from 10 May 1940 until 27 July 1945.
