Answer

23. **C. presented the heliocentric theory of the solar system.** The heliocentric theory, placing the sun at the center of the solar system, challenged the Church's geocentric view, which placed Earth at the center. This challenge to established doctrine was the primary reason for the Church's rejection of Copernicus's work.24. **B. observation, experimentation, and mathematics.** Newton's work emphasized empirical evidence and mathematical reasoning, laying the foundation for modern scientific methodology.25. **B. the geocentric theory.** The Ptolemaic system placed Earth at the center of the universe, a view that prevailed for centuries and was intertwined with religious interpretations.26. **B. a blending of Christian theology and the writings of traditional authors.** Medieval science often relied on religious dogma and the works of ancient Greek and Roman thinkers like Aristotle and Ptolemy, rather than empirical observation and experimentation.27. **D. Copernicus' heliocentric theory contradicted church teachings and traditional beliefs.** The heliocentric model challenged the established geocentric view, which was deeply ingrained in Church doctrine and the broader understanding of the universe at the time.28. **A. recorded astronomical data from the observatory and observed a supernova.** Brahe's meticulous observations, including his documentation of a supernova, provided valuable data that later informed Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
