Answer:

Galileo was ordered to turn himself in to the Holy Office to begin trial for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the sun, which was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church. Standard practice demanded that the accused be imprisoned and secluded during the trial.

Answer:

For historical context, Galileo Galilei believed that the world circled around the sun, rather then the sun circling the world (as the Roman Catholic Church suggests). The Roman Catholic Church persecuted Galileo and tried to silence him due to his discovery that was contradictory to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, in which it, when proven true, would lead people to question other teachings of the Catholic Church and "lead people astray". Therefore, in an effort to not only keep the public image of the Catholic Church afloat, but also the respect and therefore funding of the church, The Roman Catholic Church moved to punish Galileo.

Why does the video show many people ducking and covering in a variety of situations?
nadezda [96]
C. To show that duck and cover would protect a person during a bomb attack.

That answer doesn't make much sense to us now, but at the time of the 1951 <em>Duck and Cover </em>film released by the US Civil Defense office, that was the message the government was conveying to the American people.

If you look at the other options in the answer choices, all of them (A,B,D) are essentially saying the same thing -- that this was a method that would not work.  So the only unique answer in the set -- which was the message from Civil Defense -- was that "duck and cover" was a helpful strategy in the event of a nuclear attack.  Truthfully, it would not have been.
