A. It was used by the Catholic Church and in academic settings.
Explanation:
Latin was for 20 centuries the official language of the Church. Academic writing and research was published in Latin. Masses were said in Latin, despite the fact that only the clergy and the best educated people (very few people during the Middle Ages) were the only ones who could speak and understand it. It was only in the second half of the 20th century that the Roman Catholic Church authorized masses in the local and national languages of each country.
People in most European nations believe that the war that started in August 1914 would end quickly because each nation believed it had superior military forces and strategies.

World War I which broke out in 1914 between the central powers and the allies almost lasted for 4 years and caused great destruction in terms of life and property.

Correct items that apply:
- The British gained control of Hong Kong.
- British citizens were granted immunity from Chinese laws.
- Chinese would pay the British for losses in the war.
- China would open five ports for foreign trade.
So, the only incorrect item in that list was "The British lost to the Chinese." The British did not lose -- they won and imposed the various conditions listed above.
<u>Further context/detail on the First Opium War (1839-1842)</u>
Britain had been trying to gain trade access to China as part of its imperial ambitions. They found a product they could get Chinese people to buy -- the drug, opium. The Chinese government vehemently opposed this illegal trading the British were carrying on, and the First Opium War resulted. The British won and imposed the Treaty of Nanking on China in 1842, which compelled China to open its doors more widely to foreign trade. The United States followed up in 1844 with The Treaty of Wangxia, which gave the US access to trade in China.
From 1850 to 1860, conflict continued between the British and the Chinese in the Second Opium War, again with Britain prevailing and forcing China to open trade rules still further.
