गेलिलिओचं खगोलशास्त्र धोकादायक का ठरू लागलं ? Why did the astronomy of Galileo become dangerous ?
Option 4 is correct because Galileo's astronomy challenged the traditional, religiously and politically sanctioned geocentric worldview that the ruling powers took for absolute truth.
वरील उताऱ्यानुसार मानवतावादात कशाचा अंतर्भाव होतो ? वर दिलेल्या विधानांपैकी कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? / According to the above paragraphs, what are the factors included in Humanism ? Which of the statements given above are correct ?
(a)अ. व्यक्तीच्या भांडवलाचे महत्त्व / a. Importance of individual capital
(b)ब. व्यक्तीच्या प्रयत्नांचे महत्त्व / b. Importance of individual efforts
(c)क. छपाईचे नवे तंत्र लोकप्रिय करणे / c. Popularisation of new printing technology
(d)ड. माणसाच्या क्षमतेवर विश्वास / d. Belief in human potential
Humanism during the Renaissance emphasized human potential (belief in human capacities) and individual efforts rather than just divine grace. Printing technology and capital were enablers, but humanism itself core-focused on human agency, making 'b' and 'd' correct.
पुढीलपैकी कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? / Which of the following statements is/are correct ?
(a)अ. पूर्वी पृथ्वी सूर्यमालेच्या मध्यभागी मानली जायची. / a. Earlier the Earth was considered to be at the centre of the solar system.
(b)ब. चर्चची श्रीमंती नंतर कमी झाली. / b. The earlier rich church got impoverished later.
Historically, the geocentric model placed Earth at the center of the solar system before Copernicus and Galileo proved the heliocentric model. Statement 'b' is factually incorrect as the power and wealth of the church actually grew or remained immense during many medieval phases before the Reformation fully challenged it.
