Martin Luther's criticisms of the Catholic Church sparked the Reformation; John Calvin created a new denomination that promoted good works.

Tessa Bolton · Answer 2

Firstly, it was Martin Luther's criticisms of the Catholic Church that sparked the reformation, specifically, his 95 Theses. So we can cross out, "John Calvin's criticisms of the Catholic Church sparked the Reformation; Martin Luther created a new denomination that promoted good works."

Secondly, the Church of England was established by Henry 8th because the Catholic Church would not allow him to be divorced from his first wife. Therefore we can cross out, "Martin Luther broke from the Catholic Church over an annulment; John Calvin translated the Bible into English and started the Church of England." and "John Calvin broke from the Catholic Church over an annulment; Martin Luther translated the Bible into English and started the Church of England."

Therefore, the correct pair of statements is: "Martin Luther's criticisms of the Catholic Church sparked the Reformation; John Calvin created a new denomination that promoted good works."
