The correct answer is B. Reliance on individual thought

Explanation:

Voltaire was an important writer and philosopher that lived during the Age of Enlightenment or the Age of Reason because of this through his writings Voltaire criticized the Catholic church and supported the freedom of speech and religion. This included his "Philosophical Dictionary" published in 1764 in which Voltaire criticized different religious institutions especially in terms of injustice, intolerance and the fanatism. Themes that can be seen in the excerpt "Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices" in which Voltaire explains those who are in the power which might refer to the clergy, do only have the power to convince people about ideas that are not logic or true but to motivate them to commit injustices.

This excerpt shows Voltaire is against the people in power and supports the freedom of religion and speech by promoting individual thought rather than following others. This means the attitude Voltaire promote in this quote is the "reliance on individual thoughts" or trusting own ideas and thoughts rather than believing in others.

How did Russia defeat Napoleon?
yanalaym [24]
Russia defeated Napoleon by starving and freezing his army to death. During the invasion, French troops were forced to march through miles of snow in extremely cold weather, without the proper clothing and supplies to survive it. The Russians purposefully burned down their own villages so that the French could not raid them for supplies. By the time Napoleon reached Moscow, his army's morale was extremely low and he had sustained heavy losses, and he was forced to retreat soon afterward. Russia's cold weather that makes it almost impossible to invade is often called 'Russian Winter' or 'General Winter'.
