The cognitive ability needed to complete a timeline is seriation, which is the ability to organize items in a specific order based on a given criteria. Brent will need to organize the events of the Civil War in chronological order for his timeline. Conservation deals with understanding that the amount of a substance remains the same despite changes in appearance or arrangement, transitive inference is the ability to use logic to determine the relationships between objects or ideas, and inductive reasoning is the ability to draw logical conclusions based on observations or evidence.
