Verified Answer :

  1. He hoped to find routes to Africa.

    8. Tomatoes

    12. Decline in literacy:
    During the Protestant Reformation, Calvinism popped up, whose main belief was in predestination (A is incorrect).  Protestants believed people should be able to read the Bible, so literacy increased (B is correct!)  The Protestant Reformation broke up the religious unity of Europe, leading to the rise of nation-states (C is incorrect).

    13. It created new divisions within European society:
    It destroyed the religious unity of Europe (A is correct), and led to more conflict between Catholics and non-Catholics (B is incorrect).  The Jews weren't positively affected either (C is incorrect).

    14. Conflict between Catholics and Protestants:
    Tension between the two groups was one cause of the Thirty Years' War.

    15. Rise of absolute monarchs:
    I believe Germany had specific regions, and the Holy Roman Empire ended.  Absolute monarchs were popular because they promised to restore order.

    16. Construction of Versailles

    17. Construction of St. Petersburg

    18. A dispute between the king and Parliament

    19. Defeat of the Spanish Armada

    20. A Bill of Rights

    23. 
    The Ninety-Five Theses were soon printed and distributed around Europe:
    Though I think all are true statements, this is the only one that supports the argument.  "The pope banned the work, telling Catholics not to read it" would make you think that the printing press did NOT help.  "Eventually the Holy Roman Emperor and the German parliament got involved" has nothing to do with the printing press.

    24. Luther's self-confidence in his position shows individualism and belief in his own potential:
    I'm not certain, but I think this is the closest choice.
