Question

1. galileo was seen as a brilliant thinker during his own time, and he is still viewed this way today. why do people give such high praise to this scientist?

galileo loved to teach children his lofty ideas and them encourage them to show off their knowledge.
the medici family would support only the brightest thinkers, so everyone assumes galileo must by a genius.
galileo was able to find - and explain - simple answers for complex questions problems.
galileo was making scientific discoveries at a time when no one else was.

Explanation:

Galileo's ability to simplify complex scientific concepts was a hallmark of his work. He used experiments and observations to explain natural phenomena in an accessible way. For example, his work on motion and the laws of falling bodies made complex physical concepts understandable. The other options are incorrect. There is no significant evidence that he focused on teaching children to "show off" knowledge. The Medici family's support was not the main reason for his praise (though they did support him). And it's not true that no one else was making scientific discoveries at his time (e.g., Kepler was also active).

Answer:

Galileo was able to find - and explain - simple answers for complex questions problems.
