Explanation:

Since the options for the dropdowns are not provided, we can analyze each statement to determine the likely answers (assuming common historical terms):

First Statement: "English King who broke away from the Catholic Church and established the Anglican church."

• The English king who broke from the Catholic Church and established the Anglican Church is Henry VIII.

Second Statement: "A church pardon; a release from punishment for one's sins if they paid money to the Catholic Church."

• This is the definition of an Indulgence.

Third Statement: "A person who followed the German priest's teachings was known as this."

• The German priest here is Martin Luther, and his followers are called Lutherans (or sometimes "Protestants" in a broader sense, but more specifically Lutheran for his teachings).

Fourth Statement: "German priest who nailed his essays to a church door protesting the Catholic Church."

• This is Martin Luther (he nailed the 95 Theses to the church door).

Fifth Statement: "The invention that spread the ideas of the German priest’s protest."

• The invention that helped spread Martin Luther's ideas was the Printing Press (specifically the movable - type printing press, which allowed for rapid dissemination of his writings).

(for each sub - question):

1. For "English King who broke away from the Catholic Church and established the Anglican church":

• Historical knowledge tells us that Henry VIII wanted to annul his marriage, which the Catholic Church wouldn't allow. So he broke away and established the Anglican Church.

1. For "A church pardon; a release from punishment for one's sins if they paid money to the Catholic Church":

• In the Catholic Church during the time of the Reformation, indulgences were sold as a way to reduce the time a soul would spend in purgatory. People could buy them as a "pardon" for their sins.

1. For "A person who followed the German priest's teachings was known as this":

• The German priest is Martin Luther. Those who followed his teachings, which were a protest against the Catholic Church's practices, were called Lutherans (or Protestants in a more general sense related to the Reformation).

1. For "German priest who nailed his essays to a church door protesting the Catholic Church":

• Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses (essays protesting Catholic practices like the sale of indulgences) to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church, which was a key event in the start of the Protestant Reformation.

1. For "The invention that spread the ideas of the German priest’s protest":

• The printing press, with its ability to produce multiple copies of written works quickly, was instrumental in spreading Martin Luther's ideas across Europe. Before the printing press, copying texts was a slow and expensive process.
