Answer 1

The correct order in 1559 is the Act of Supremacy, Act of Uniformity, Book of Common Prayer, and the Thirty-Nine Articles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of acts and books introduced in 1559 related to the English Reformation are the Act of Supremacy, which re-established the Church of England's independence from Rome, and the Act of Uniformity, which reasserted the use of the Book of Common Prayer as the mandated form of worship. These were part of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement. Concluding with the Thirty-Nine Articles, which defined the theology of the Church of England, there is no record of an Act of Reformation from that year. The answer, therefore, is b) Act of Supremacy, Act of Uniformity, Book of Common Prayer, Thirty-Nine Articles.
