Final answer:

Mary I persecuted Protestants, while Elizabeth I supported the Anglican Church and adopted a moderate approach to religion to help usher in Protestantism in England.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary I, also known as "Bloody Mary," persecuted Protestants during her reign. She executed several hundred Protestants in an attempt to restore Catholicism in England. Her actions were opposite to the efforts of her half-sister Elizabeth I to achieve religious tolerance and a balance between Protestants and Catholics. Elizabeth I supported the Anglican Church and adopted a relatively moderate approach to religion, which helped to in Protestantism in England.
