Question

Which of these Speakers is most likely a Protestant Reformer speaking

against the Church
Speaker A: It was a combination of the Protestant wind and the island nature of our nation
that protected us. Surely, Philip must be upset at his defeat
Speaker B: Through faith alone will you be saved from eternal punishments. All humans
being thus equal should take their prayers to God in person
Speaker C: It is not by the benevolence of the butcher that you receive your meat but
through your own hard work
Speaker D: Intervening on the side of the Protestants was in part a desire to weaken other
countries in Europe

Answer 1

Correct answer is B: Through faith alone will you be saved from eternal punishments. All humans being thus equal should take their prayers to God in person

Step-by-step explanation:

B is correct answer because Protestant Reformers didn't believe in indulgence and were preaching that salvation will come to those who are believing in God, and that they don't need a mediator in that process. They were objecting the influence of the church.

A is obviously some English Protestant speaking against Philip of Spain, who waged war against England.

C is also someone who is supporting Protestantism, but is not directly speaking against the church.

D also isn't someone speaking against the church, as it can be someone describing the events in Europe in 16th or 17th Century.
