Flavius Josephus was born as Yosef ben Matityahu. He was a Jerusalem-born scholar who was captured by the Romans but was kept alive after convincing the emperor that he was a prophet.
He gave the soon-to-be emperor a prophecy that came true earning his trust and support. Yosef ben Matityahu changed his name to a Roman style (Titus Flavius Josephus) and firmly assimilated into Roman culture advocating on their behalf. He believed that Romans were merciful and “chosen by God”. Flavius asserted that “the Jewish were being punished” and tried to convince others as such by citing God saying God had chosen him to reveal these statements.
The correct answer is a. Non-material culture.
Non-material culture refers to beliefs, rules, customs, ways of thinking, ideas that make up a culture. They are not items you can hold or touch but rather ways of living, how we go about our daily lives. So going to get a haircut, visiting your dentist or taking public transport would all be examples of non- material culture.

The correct answer is: "receiving money for the remission of sins".
The Catholic Church used to sell indulgences. Extremely poor people spent all the money they could have saved to buy these products, because they were told in church (and therefore they believed so) that they would be forggiven for their sins and heaven would await for them after the purchase.
Martin Luther criticized the existence of this lucrative activity connected to the power of removing sins, which according to his beliefs was only held by Gold. Therefore, the members of the clergy were deceiving their congregations just to earn money for themselves.
