Read the summary.

In 1478, Isabella and Ferdinand asked Pope Sixtus IV to authorize official action against Muslims and Jews in Spain (1). This was known as the Spanish Inquisition (2). Any religious opinion deviating from established Church doctrine was regarded as heresy (3). Yet, the Catholic Church refused Isabella and Ferdinand’s request to use torture as a tool to gain confessions of guilt (4).

Answer 1

While parts (1), (2), and (3) are accurate, part (4) needs revision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts 1, 2 and 3 are accurate, and they tell the correct story of the origin of the Spanish Inquisition.

Part 4 on the other hand is incorrect. Torture methods were used, not only as a tool to gain confessions of guilt, but also as a method to kill the supposed heretics. Death by burning was specially common.
