The people in the Byzantine Empire who disagreed with the position being argued with the quoted word would be called the <u>Iconoclasts</u>.

<h3>Who are the Iconoclasts?</h3>

Basically, an Iconoclasm means “an image breaking” and refers to a recurring historical impulse to destroy images for religious or political reasons.

For instance, in ancient Egypt, the carved visages of some pharaohs were obliterated by their successors and during the French Revolution, the images of kings were defaced.

Hence, the people in the Byzantine Empire who disagreed with the position being argued with the quoted word "<em>Those fall into the same blasphemy who venerate the image, and the same woe rests upon both.</em>" would be called the <u>Iconoclasts</u>.

Therefore, the Option B is correct.

Write a one page paper about Henry Ford.​
AysviL [449]

Born in 1863, Henry Ford was the first surviving son of William and Mary Ford, who owned a prosperous farm in Dearborn, Michigan. At 16, he left home for the nearby city of Detroit, where he found apprentice work as a machinist. He returned to Dearborn and work on the family farm after three years, but continued to operate and service steam engines and work occasional stints in Detroit factories. In 1888, he married Clara Bryant, who had grown up on a nearby farm.In the first several years of their marriage, Ford supported himself and his new wife by running a sawmill. In 1891, he returned with Clara to Detroit, where he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. Rising quickly through the ranks, he was promoted to chief engineer two years later. Around the same time, Clara gave birth to the couple’s only son, Edsel Bryant Ford. On call 24 hours a day for his job at Edison, Ford spent his irregular hours on his efforts to build a gasoline-powered horseless carriage, or automobile. In 1896, he completed what he called the “Quadricycle,” which consisted of a light metal frame fitted with four bicycle wheels and powered by a two-cylinder, four-horsepower gasoline engine.
