buy an indulgence
read the Bible for themselves
accept the pope's authority
obey the teachings of the Catholic Church

Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Although he did everything that he was taught, Luther often became discouraged. He realized he disagreed with some of the teachings and practices of the Church. He believed that the Church's practice of selling of indulgences was wrong and harmful.

In 1517, while reading the Bible, Luther became convinced that he must voice his objections to the Church. On October 31, he nailed his Ninety-Five Theses, or reasons for his objections, to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. This began the Protestant Reformation.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin wanted the people to read the bible for themselves because he was insulted by the ways of the Catholic Churches and the Popes.
