How did Galileo celebrate the magnificence of the Medicis?

  • A.He claimed the enthronement of Cosmis II as a cosmic occasion explaining the divinity of Cosmis I and his sons with Jupiter and his four moons.
  • B.He claimed Jupiter to be a messenger of God who has bestowed his blessings on the enthroning of the new king.
  • C.He justified the immortality of Cosmis I and his dynasty by the fierceness of Jupiter and its moons.
  • D.For Galileo, Cosmis II the divinity is more powerful than any other things.

Answer: A

Galileo celebrated the magnificence of the Medicis by making his discovery into a cosmic occasion: he said the stars offered themselves to his telescope as Cosimo II was enthroned, and likened the four moons to the four sons of Cosimo I, linking the family with Jupiter. Option A states this. The others, that Jupiter was a messenger of God, that Cosimo's dynasty was immortal, or that Cosimo's divinity was more powerful than other things, are not claims in the passage.
