Answer 1

12. **B. divorce his wife.** Henry VIII wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon because she hadn't produced a male heir. The Pope refused, leading Henry to break with Rome and establish the Church of England with himself as its Supreme Head.13. **D. direct the reform of the Catholic Church.** The Council of Trent was a key part of the Counter-Reformation, addressing the challenges posed by Protestantism and enacting reforms within the Catholic Church. While fighting heresy (A) was part of this, the Council's purpose was broader than just that. Spreading the faith (B) was ongoing, but not the specific purpose of the Council. Translating the Bible into the vernacular (C) was *opposed* by the Council.14. **A. for economic and political reasons.** While some German princes may have had genuine religious convictions, the adoption of Lutheranism also allowed them to confiscate Church lands and assert greater independence from the Holy Roman Emperor.15. **A. became head of the Anglican Church.** This was a direct consequence of his break with Rome. He established the Church of England (also known as the Anglican Church) and declared himself its Supreme Head.
