Transcript:

While the Renaissance masterpieces of Michelangelo, Titian, and Raphael remained religious and classical in subject matter, new world views challenged the orthodoxy of 16th century Europe. Medieval values gave way to a new humanism, Martin Luther's 95 Theses urged reform in the Roman Catholic Church and catalysed the Reformation. Protestant faiths, emphasising scripture and the human conscience, spread across Europe. Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Earth and other planets rotate around the sun, challenging the long-held view that the universe rotates around (the Earth).

Option 4: "the Earth"

Explanation: This option is correct as the text indicates that the long-held view was that the universe rotates around the Earth. This is a direct reference to the traditional belief that Copernicus challenged, making it the appropriate choice.

Option 1: "the sun"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Earth and other planets rotate around the sun. Therefore, saying 'the sun' would contradict the information provided in the text.

Option 2: "the stars"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it does not align with the text. The text specifically mentions that the universe rotates around the Earth, not the stars, making this option irrelevant.

Option 3: "the moon"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention the moon in relation to the rotation of the universe. The focus is on the Earth and the sun, making 'the moon' an unrelated choice.
