Answer:

D). He was the first African American to hold an elective office.

Explanation:

The last statement among the given options asserts a false claim regarding Benjamin Banneker as it wrongly states that 'he was the first African American to hold an elective office.' He was a free black author, farmer, astronomer, scientist, and mathematician. He 'was the son a prior slave' who surely published distinct scientific papers on varied subjects and also assisted in surveying the nation's capital but he was not the first one to be involved in holding an elective office. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Who was Nicolaus Copernicus? How were their ideas received? Did people immediately agree with them?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

1) Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance-era polymath whose theory of the universe placed the Sun rather than Earth at the center of the universe, in all likelihood independently of Aristarchus.

2) Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who put forth the theory that the Sun is at rest near the center of the Universe, and that the Earth, spinning on its axis once daily, revolves annually around the Sun. This is called the heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system.

3) Many believe the heliocentric theory was immediately rejected by the Catholic Church.
