The correct option is D

Galileo Galilei (Pisa, Tuscany, February 15, 1564-Arcetri, Tuscany, January 8, 1642) was an Italian astronomer, philosopher, engineer, mathematician and physicist, closely related to the scientific revolution. Eminent man of the Renaissance, showed interest in almost all sciences and arts (music, literature, painting). His achievements include the improvement of the telescope, a wide variety of astronomical observations, the first law of movement and a decisive support for the «Copernicus Revolution». He has been considered the "father of modern astronomy", the "father of modern physics" and the "father of science".

In May of 1609, Galileo receives from Paris a letter from the Frenchman Jacques Badovere, one of his former students, who confirms an insistent rumor: the existence of a telescope that allows to see distant objects. Built in Holland by the lens manufacturer Hans Lippershey, this telescope would have already allowed to see stars invisible to the naked eye. With this unique description, Galileo, who no longer gives courses to Cosme II de Médicis, builds his first telescope. Unlike the Dutch telescope, it does not deform the objects and increases them 6 times, that is, twice as much as its opponent. It is also the only one of the time that manages to obtain a right image thanks to the use of a diverging lens in the eyepiece. This invention marks a turning point in the life of Galileo.

How does Hannah-Jones expand on this quote from sociologist Glenn Bracey: ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth
Tomtit [17]

This question refers to the essay "The Idea of America" by Hannah-Jones. In this essay, Jones talks about the way Black people experienced, and impacted, the Revolutionary War in the United States. She tells us that:

<em>"...as the sociologist Glenn Bracey wrote, ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth to ourselves.’’ For as much as white people tried to pretend, black people were not chattel. And so the process of seasoning, instead of erasing identity, served an opposite purpose: In the void, we forged a new culture all our own."</em>

The explanation the author gives in this text expands on the quote by describing how Black people were able to develop their own selves. We learn that Black people were considered "chattel" and that they were denigrated, minimized and ignored constantly. However, this did not lead to the erasure of their culture. Instead, out of these harsh experiences, Black people were able to create their own identity in a way that continues to our day.
