Answer:
The author develops this statement by showing how Santorio Santorio dedicated himself to adapting Galileo's thermoscope, making it more precise and efficient.
Step-by-step explanation:
The author of "Santorio Santorio and the thermometer" begins the text showing the creation of Galilo Galilei's thermoscope. He claims that this device, while impressive, did not make accurate measurements and was not the right one to measure the temperature of some things, such as the human body, for example. However, Galileo did not have much interest in improving this invention, because he did not dedicate his life to measurements as Santorio Santorio did. This dedication to Santorio's measurements, can be seen by his dedication and the effort he put into improving Galileo's thermoscope and making this invention a precise, efficient and comprehensive device. This took a long time to complete, but he didn't give up and managed to create the thermometer.
