Question

circle the correct answer for each question: what did the idea of the divine right of kings claim?
monarchs were chosen by god to rule
kings gained power from parliament
citizens could overthrow any ruler
popes appointed all monarchs

Explanation:

The Divine Right of Kings was a political and religious doctrine. It posits that monarchs derive their authority directly from God. So, monarchs were chosen by God to rule. The other options are incorrect. Kings gaining power from Parliament goes against the idea of divine right (it would imply power from a human - made institution). Citizens overthrowing rulers also contradicts the divine - given, unchallengeable nature of a monarch's rule. And popes appointing all monarchs is not the core of the Divine Right of Kings doctrine (though there could be some overlap in some historical cases, it's not the general claim).

Answer:

Monarchs were chosen by God to rule
