Question

1. cornelius drebbel and robert boyle both made important discoveries about the nature of matter during the renaissance. what made boyle a famous scientist while few peo

drebbel, an alchemist, did not keep good records while boyle, a scientist, carefully recorded his discoveries for others to reproduce.
boyle, who had a college education, was more believable than drebbel who had never gone to college
drebbel was under the allegiance of a king thereby he was unable to publish his work
the saying, \its not what you know but who you know\ applies to drebbels life - he didnt know anyone who could make him famous.

Explanation:

In the scientific method, accurate record - keeping is crucial. Boyle, as a proper scientist, carefully recorded his work so that others could reproduce his experiments. This is a fundamental aspect of the scientific process. Drebbel, an alchemist, not keeping good records means his work could not be verified or built upon in the same way. College education (option B) was not the main factor in the Renaissance for scientific fame as much as the scientific process. There is no evidence that Drebbel was under a king's allegiance preventing publication (option C). Option D is a baseless assumption.

Answer:

Drebbel, an alchemist, did not keep good records while Boyle, a scientist, carefully recorded his discoveries for others to reproduce.
