Answer

Brief Explanations:

Descartes was set to publish The World which supported the Copernican view. When he learned of Galileo's imprisonment (due to Galileo's support of the Copernican model in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems which was seen as going against Church teachings), he feared similar persecution and held back the publication. Serving as a soldier in the Thirty Years' War was earlier in his life. The dreams were related to his philosophical inspiration years before. Tutoring the Queen of Sweden was later and led to his death (from the cold climate and early - morning tutoring sessions), not the non - publication of The World.

Answer:

learning of Galileo’s imprisonment
