However, starting from the XVI century, the so-called Puritans started their religious activism and assembling, under the belief that the Church of England should banish all remnants of Catholic doctrine and religious practices.
First of all, they opposed the King's religious supremacy, which had only replaced Pope's supremacy. According to them, only Christ had such power and dignity as to rule over the church.

Answer:
(D) Despite his nerves, he was ready for his first interview; he had thought through each potential question.

Potential Sentence Two: He had thought through each potential question.
The semicolon separates these two sentences, so that they are one sentence.
<u><em>Despite his nerves, he was ready for his first interview; he had thought through each potential question.</em></u>
