Answer:

The answer to the first one is a. Harvey described the way the human body works in a way that made it seem less mysterious.

The answer to the second one is b. Newton was the first to show that nature is ruled by a set of laws that allow us to predict outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Harvey was the 1st one to accurately find and explain the system of blood circulation inside the human body.

Prior to his findings, how the human body functions was a total mystery and many people believed in religious superstitions and miracles.

Sir Isaac Newton discovered the the idea of gravity, rules of motion, calculus and any more. He is regarded as one of the greatest physicists of all human history.

But his 3 laws of motion allowed to realize a lot of people that the nature works according to a set of natural laws and not because of the will of some deity or a god.
