Explanation:

For question 7: The Crusades were a series of medieval religious military campaigns organized by Christian powers, with the core official goal of recapturing the Holy Land (Jerusalem and surrounding areas) from Muslim control. The other options are fictional or trivial, unrelated to the actual purpose.
For question 8: In the Catholic Church, a person recognized for exceptional holiness through the canonization process is titled a saint. A Pope is the leader of the Church, a martyr is someone killed for their faith, and "flying friar" is not an official Church title for holiness.

1. A. to recapture the Holy Land
2. A. a saint
