a) guillotine.
b) headsmans axe.
c) noose.
d) firing squad.

Explanation:

• Question 10: Denis Diderot was the main compiler of the Encyclopédie. Cesare Beccaria was an Italian criminologist, Baron de Montesquieu was a political philosopher known for his work on separation of powers, and Voltaire was a French writer and philosopher, but none of them were the main compiler of this Encyclopédie.
• Question 11: The guillotine was used to execute Louis XVI during the French Revolution and became a symbol of revolutionary fervor. The headsman's axe was a traditional execution tool but not the one used for Louis XVI in this context. A noose is for hanging, and a firing squad uses guns, neither of which were the instrument of execution for Louis XVI in the revolutionary context described.

Answer:

• Question 10: d) Denis Diderot
• Question 11: a) guillotine
