The correct answers are:

Arrest people and sending them to church.

Create a catalog of forbidden books.

and Give powers of interrogation to the Inquisition.

(I took the test and these were the correct answers.)

Hope this helped! :3

Cheers, mate!

The Inquisition is one of the most important methods the Catholic Church used to try to contain the spread of Protestantism. Although its aim was to combat heresy, by heresy the Catholic Church meant everything that wasn't Catholicism. This is why many non-Catholics were "questioned," but ultimately either converted to Catholicism or killed massively.
