Explanation:

Analyze the Beatitude on the meek

The first question (28) asks about "blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." In Christian Theology, meekness is associated with humility, gentleness, and kindness toward others rather than self-assertion. Therefore, acting kindly, gently, and humbly matches this description.

Analyze the Beatitude on hunger for righteousness

The second question (29) asks about "blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied." Righteousness in a social and spiritual context refers to justice, moral uprightness, and alignment with God's will. Desiring and working for justice for all represents this spiritual hunger.

Analyze the Beatitude on those who mourn

The third question (30) asks about "blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Mourning involves feeling deep sorrow, often in response to suffering, loss, or the brokenness of the world. Truly happy people in this context respond to other people's suffering with compassion and empathy.

Define Sola Scriptura

The fourth question (31) asks about Sola Scriptura. This is a foundational theological doctrine of the Protestant Reformation asserting that the Bible is the sole infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice. Thus, it is the belief that one's entire faith relies on the Bible alone.

Identify the cause of the Reformation

The fifth question (32) asks about the practice that sparked criticism leading to the Protestant Reformation. Historically, the improper selling of indulgences (certificates reducing temporal punishment for sins) by Church leaders was a primary catalyst for Martin Luther's protest.

Identify Martin Luther's role

The sixth question (33) asks about Martin Luther. Historically, Martin Luther was a German Catholic monk, ordained priest, and professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg before initiating the Protestant Reformation.
