Answer:
Brainwash
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:
- convince
- brainwash
- persuade
- influence
Words have two types of meaning:
- Denotation - their literal meaning;
- Connotation - the emotional or cultural association they carry. Depending on what emotion a word evokes, its connotation can be defined as negative, neutral, or positive.
The words <em>convince, persuade, </em>and <em>influence</em> have a neutral connotation. The only word that has a negative connotation is <em>brainwash</em>. When someone brainwashes someone else, they lead them to believe something by continually telling them that it is true while preventing them from thinking about it properly. Whenever we use this word, we're talking about a negative occurrence.

The correct answer should be Leonardo did not intend for his inventions to do harm.
I saw on the Internet that B and D are incorrect, so we have to choose between A and C. A is also incorrect because Leonardo had much greater plans for his inventions that simply to investigate the properties of snow. This leaves us with C as the correct answer - he wanted to advance science, rather than create a bad invention.
