The correct answer is letter A

 

King Mithridates, was a Turk who was afraid of being murdered.  He watched his father (of the same name) die. In the middle of a banquet poisoned, suffocated and died in front of his guests. The killer was never discovered.

Mithridates was 15 years old at the time. The legend goes that the young man liked to spend months surviving isolated in the forests of the region and that it was in one of these retreats that his most famous invention appeared.

The prince, fearing being murdered like his father, made it a habit to drink a very small dose of poison every day. One drop in the first week, two drops in the second, three in the third - until it reaches almost lethal doses.

One of his enemies tries to poison him with the same liquid that killed his father. The new King Mithridates survives, his body accustomed to the substance, and has the criminal executed.

lakkis [162]

Answer: D. The texts were based on secular poetry.

Explanation: The Lutheran chorales was originally created by Martin Luther and his supporters in a bid to encourage musical creativity and worship God together as a congregation. This greatly inflenced 18th century German composer Johann Sebastian Bach to write and harmonise several simple chorales for the Lutheran church.

To encourage congregational participation, he made the melodies simple and memorable as well as composed the texts in German instead of latin. He even used the local German dialects to enable the less educated equal participation. This was how Bach realised his goal of congregational participation while still glorifying God at Lutheran church services.

How did John Calvin's ideas impact England?
Lilit [14]
Calvin's doctrines and theology created profound changes within the fledgling Protestant churches. In particular, Calvin led Protestantism to insert itself into state control and secular affairs, and his ideas about salvation and whether it is predestined by God or open to all, are still debated in contemporary times.John Calvin (1509-1564), a French theologian, brought profound changes to the Reformation. By 1530, he had become an aggressive advocate of Protestantism, and in 1536, Calvin went to Geneva to help the city split from the Roman Catholic Church. However, Calvin's reforms were not welcome by those in power, and he fled the city in 1538. Upon his return in 1541, he instituted radical reform into church structure and exerted religious authority over the state. His reforms quickly became known as Calvinism and spread throughout Europe, where they heavily influenced Protestant reforms.
