Explanation:

First Question (Absolute Monarch Quotation)

To determine the quotation from an absolute monarch, we analyze each option:

• Option a emphasizes a constitutional government, not absolute rule.
• Option b gives law - making power to parliament, which is against absolute monarchy.
• Option c is a philosophical statement about the state of nature, not related to absolute monarchy.
• Option d claims that all rights and public order are in the monarch's hands alone, which is characteristic of absolute monarchy.

To find the statement expressing Scientific Revolution ideas:

• Option a is wrong because the Scientific Revolution challenged existing thought systems, not conformed to them.
• Option b is incorrect as the Scientific Revolution reduced the authority of religious figures in scientific interpretation.
• Option c is wrong since the Scientific Revolution was against superstition and magic in understanding nature.
• Option d is correct as the Scientific Revolution promoted using reason and experimentation to reach scientific conclusions.

Answer:

d. "The rights and prohibitions of the nation are joined with my body and reside in my hands alone. Public order in its entirety me."
