What did Galileo write for the Medicis?

  • A.He wrote about his scientific theories and travel journeys.
  • B.He wrote about the greatness of his patrons and king.
  • C.He wrote about Medicis and his grandeur in the realms of Jupiter's moons.
  • D.He wrote about how to use a compass keeping Medicis in mind.

Answer: D

Galileo wrote a book on how to use a compass, keeping the Medicis in mind. The passage says that he gave the Duke of Gonzaga a military compass, and then wrote a book with the Medicis in mind, teaching how to use it. The other options, writing on his theories, on the greatness of his patrons or on Jupiter's moons, are not what the passage says he wrote for them. The passage says that Galileo, having given the Duke of Gonzaga a military compass, wrote a book teaching its use with the Medicis in mind, so option D is stated word for word. The other options describe a different gift or work.
