Answer 1

1. c

2. e

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Second Great Awakening was a movement that spread across the US in the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century.

It opposed to the eighteenth century Enlightenment philosophy and managed to reestablish the status of religion under the influence of Romanticism.

The individualism and the return to oneself promoted by romanticism led the man to regain contact with spirituality which made him rediscover the Supernatural as well as God.

2. As a result of the Second Great Awakening, the Protestant religion started to regain importance and it served as base for two denominations that emerged from it.

Methodism refers to the teaching of John Wesley which promoted the practice of holy life and salvation for all. Methodists abide the rules of scripture (code of conduct) which is how they got their name.

Baptist church represents another wide spread church which baptizes only believing adults. Different baptist groups developed different beliefs and ways of worship since every local baptist church is autonomous and teaches differently.
