Abhijeet murthy answered |
The correct answer is c) China, Japan and Korea.
The earliest kind of print technology was developed in China, around the 8th century AD. This technology, called woodblock printing, involved carving an image or text onto a wooden block, inking it, and then pressing it onto paper or cloth.
Later, in the 11th century, moveable type printing was also developed in China, where individual characters or letters could be arranged and rearranged to create different texts.
This technology spread to Japan and Korea, where it was further developed and refined. In Japan, for example, woodblock printing was used to create intricate and colorful prints, known as ukiyo-e, which depicted scenes from everyday life, nature, and mythology.
India and Arabia also developed their own print technologies, such as palm-leaf manuscript writing and calligraphy, but these were not as influential or widespread as those of China, Japan, and Korea.

|
Trisha Vashisht answered |
Protestant Reformation was:
- A 16th century movement to reform the Catholic Church dominated by Rome: The Protestant Reformation was initiated as a movement to reform certain practices and doctrines within the Catholic Church during the 16th century. This movement was driven by individuals who believed that the church had become corrupt and deviated from its original teachings.
- A challenge to the authority of Rome: The Protestant Reformation also challenged the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and its hierarchical structure. Reformers questioned the Pope's authority and emphasized the importance of individual interpretation of the Bible.
- A new religion started by Martin Luther: While Martin Luther played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation, it is incorrect to say that he started a new religion. Luther sought to reform the existing Catholic Church rather than establish a separate religious entity.
- A movement which started anti-Catholic Christianity: While the Protestant Reformation resulted in the emergence of various Protestant denominations, it is inaccurate to characterize it as an entirely anti-Catholic movement. The reformers aimed to address perceived issues within the Catholic Church rather than completely reject its teachings and traditions.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: A 16th century movement to reform the Catholic Church dominated by Rome.

Amit Sharma answered |
Some historians think that print culture created the basis for the French Revolution because (i) Printing of the ideas of the Enlightenment thinkers like Voltaire and Rousseau led to them being read by many people. As these writers attacked the despotic rulers and the authority of the Church, the readers saw the world through eyes that were questioning, critical and rational
(ii) Print spawned a dialogue and debate culture in which all institutions, norms and values were discussed and re-evaluated.
(iii) By the 1780s, a lot of literature criticizing and mocking the royalty. The underground circulation of such literature increased hostile sentiments against the monarchy.

Thomas Macaulay was the liberal colonial officer who formulated new rules to restore the freedom of the press in India. The new Governor General Lord Metcalf, the successor of Bentink came to power in 1835. Like Bentink, he was a liberal and held strong views in favour of freedom of the press. When appointed, he invited Lord Macaulay, the renowned liberal scholar, historian and politician, who was then the legislative member of the Supreme Council, to draft a Press Act presumably to be incorporated into the code which was being drafted by the Law Commission. Macaulay, who favoured the new act, pointed out that the existing licensing regulations were wrong and the press in India should be free.

Ishita Kumar answered |
The correct answer is c) China.
Printing was first developed in China, where it is believed to have originated in the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). The Chinese inventor Bi Sheng is credited with inventing movable type printing in the 11th century, using clay characters that could be arranged to form text and then printed onto paper. This innovation revolutionized the production of books and other written materials, making it possible to mass produce texts and disseminate them more widely.
Printing eventually spread from China to other parts of the world, including Japan, Portugal, and Germany, where it was further developed and refined. However, the origins of printing can be traced back to China, where it was first invented.

The Protestant Reformation movement is indeed related to Christianity. It was a significant religious and social movement that took place in the 16th century, primarily in Europe. The movement was led by influential figures such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others who sought to reform and challenge certain practices and beliefs within the Roman Catholic Church.
Key Points:
1. Protestant Reformation: The Protestant Reformation was a religious and social movement that emerged in the 16th century as a response to perceived corruption and abuses within the Roman Catholic Church. It sought to reform and challenge certain practices and doctrines of the church.
2. Martin Luther: Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian, played a central role in initiating the Reformation. In 1517, he famously nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany, criticizing the sale of indulgences and other practices of the Catholic Church.
3. Doctrinal Disputes: The Protestant Reformation was characterized by a series of doctrinal disputes between the reformers and the Catholic Church. These disputes centered around issues such as salvation, the authority of the Bible, the role of priests, and the sacraments.
4. Key Beliefs: The reformers, including Luther and Calvin, emphasized the doctrine of justification by faith alone, meaning that individuals are saved through their faith in Jesus Christ rather than through good works or the sacraments. They also advocated for the Bible to be translated into vernacular languages so that people could have direct access to the scriptures.
5. Spread of Protestantism: The Reformation had a profound impact on Europe and led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations, including Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Anglicanism. These new branches of Christianity challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to religious conflicts and divisions across the continent.
6. Social and Political Effects: The Reformation also had significant social and political consequences. It challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and opened the door for new ideas and movements, including the rise of nation-states and the development of modern capitalism.
In conclusion, the Protestant Reformation movement is closely related to Christianity. It was a religious and social movement that sought to reform the Roman Catholic Church and led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations. The movement was driven by key figures such as Martin Luther and John Calvin and had far-reaching effects on European society and politics.

The civil service examinations created a strong demand for printed material in China. The candidates needed textbooks and study material to prepare for these exams. The imperial state recognized this demand and sponsored the production of large quantities of printed material. This ensured that the candidates had access to the necessary resources for their preparation.
Importance of China as a major producer of printed material

That is correct. The words are from the French novelist Louise Sebastien Mercier, who lived in the 18th century. He believed that the printing press was a powerful tool that could help to overthrow despotism and spread knowledge, and he issued a warning to tyrants to tremble before the virtual writer.

Explanation:
The term 'Galley' refers to a long, low built ship with one deck, propelled by oars and sails. Here is a detailed explanation of each option:
A: A corridor or long passage where family portraits are hung:
- This is an incorrect definition of the term 'Galley'. A corridor or long passage where family portraits are hung is commonly known as a gallery, not a galley.
B: A metal frame in which types are laid and the text composed:
- This is the correct definition of the term 'Galley'. A galley refers to a metal frame in which types are laid and the text composed. It is commonly used in the printing industry.
C: A long, low built ship with one deck, propelled by oars and sails:
- This is the correct definition of the term 'Galley'. A galley is a type of ship that is long and low built, with one deck. It is propelled by both oars and sails.
D: A scarecrow:
- This is an incorrect definition of the term 'Galley'. A scarecrow is not related to the term 'Galley' in any way.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: A metal frame in which types are laid and the text composed.

b) From AD 594 onwards, books in China were printed by rubbing paper against the inked surface of wooden blocks.
The Chinese started handprinting from AD 594 onwards when books in China were printed by rubbing paper against the inked surface of wooden blocks. This technique of printing is known as woodblock printing and was widely used in China for printing books, religious texts, and images for centuries
Option (a) is not accurate as the Chinese were using ink and paper for writing and painting as early as the 2nd century BC, but they were not using handprinting as a technique at that time.
Option (c) is also not accurate as the porous sheet known as "xuan paper" was invented during the Tang dynasty (7th century AD), which was after the start of woodblock printing.
Therefore, the correct answer is b) From AD 594 onwards, books in China were printed by rubbing paper against the inked surface of wooden blocks.

Explanation:
The statement claims that the uses of print diversified in urban China by the 17th century. To support this statement, the following points can be made:
A: Print was no longer used by scholar-officials only:
- Scholar-officials were traditionally the main users of print in China.
- If print was no longer limited to scholar-officials, it means that other groups of people started using print as well.
- This suggests a diversification in the uses of print.
B: Merchants used print in their everyday life and trade information:
- Merchants are an important social group in urban areas.
- If merchants started using print in their everyday life and trade information, it implies that print became a tool for business and commercial purposes.
- This further indicates a diversification in the uses of print.
C: Reading became a leisure activity:
- If reading became a leisure activity, it suggests that print materials were not solely used for academic or official purposes.
- This implies that print materials were produced and consumed for entertainment and personal enjoyment.
- This supports the idea that the uses of print diversified.
D: All the above:
- Both points A and B indicate a diversification in the uses of print.
- Point C suggests that print was used for leisure activities.
- Therefore, all the above statements support the claim that the uses of print diversified in urban China by the 17th century.
Overall, the evidence presented in points A, B, and C suggests that the uses of print in urban China expanded beyond the traditional realm of scholar-officials and diversified by the 17th century.

- Option A: Menocchio - Protestant Reformation
Explanation: Menocchio was an Italian miller who reinterpreted the Bible's message and faced the Roman Catholic Church's inquisition for his controversial views. He was not directly associated with the Protestant Reformation. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched. - Option B: Martin Luther - Ninety-Five Theses
Explanation: Martin Luther is well-known for writing the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, which criticized the practices of the Roman Catholic Church and played a crucial role in sparking the Protestant Reformation. This pair is correctly matched. - Option C: Louise-Sebastien Mercier - Index of Prohibited Books
Explanation: Louise-Sebastien Mercier was an 18th-century French novelist who advocated for the impact of books in spreading progress and enlightenment. He did not establish the Index of Prohibited Books, which was created by the Roman Catholic Church to regulate and control the reading material deemed heretical. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched. - Option D: Richard M. Hoe - Offset Press
Explanation: Richard M. Hoe from New York perfected the power-driven cylindrical press in the mid-19th century. The offset press, however, was introduced later in the 19th century. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched.
