Answer 1

D. Learning of Galileo's imprisonment

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Galileo Galilei, was criticized by the Roman Catholic Church in Italy and he was put under house arrest. Rather, Galileo convinced Europe that the earth and other planetary bodies orbited the sun, and that there could be many other solar systems. This condemnation of Galileo petrified Europe's intellectuals, as Galileo was an enormous cultural authority comparable to Einstein in the 20th century. Descartes observed these events and decided in 1623 that he would not publish his work. Descartes was a celebrity in his own lifetime. His years-long correspondences with the famous scientists and philosophers across Europe had earned he and his work tremendous fame, and he was urged to publish it, but he refused.
