Explanation:

For question 35, Galileo used the telescope to make discoveries and the rise of printing to spread his work, which secured his place in science history. Option C is correct as it captures this central idea.
For question 36, there is no mention of time - flashing, character aspects, or competitor - comparison in the text. The text likely makes connections by showing Galileo's observations across different celestial bodies. But among the options, none are completely accurate based on a general understanding of how such connections might be made in a text about Galileo's work.
For question 37, sub - headings in a text about Galileo are likely to list his accomplishments and observations. Option C is the most appropriate.

Answer:

1. C. Galileo used the telescope and the rise of printing to secure his place in the history of science.
2. (No completely accurate option among the given ones)
3. C. They list the accomplishments and observations of Galileo.
