Question at position 10 asks: Which statement is FALSE?
Option 1 reads: 'In the 17th century, the Scientific Revolution marked the emergence of modern sciences like physics and biology that transformed the views of society about nature.' This is historically accurate, as the Scientific Revolution did elevate physics and biology and shifted society's understanding of nature during the 17th century.
Option 2 reads: 'In the 16th century, Renaissance had transformed the medieval or traditional thought to postmodernist or relativist thought.' This claim is problematic because the Renaissance began earlier (roughly 14th to 17th centuries) and is associated with humanism, revival of classical learning, and a shift toward secular and empirical approaches, but it did not introduce postmodernist or relativist thought as such. Postmodernism is a much later intellectual movement, arising in the late 20th century, so this option mixes timelines and mischaracterizes the progression of ideas.
Option 3 reads: 'In the 19th century, Industrial Revolution 2.0 led to a greater improvement of existing technologies and the introduction of new technologies, such as in the fields of telecommunications and electricity.' This is a nuanced phrasing issue: while the Industrial Revolution did involve rapid technological advances, the common historical framing does not usually label a distinct 'Industrial Revolution 2.0' in the 19th century specifically focusing on telecommunications and electricity as a separate phase; however, the general idea of ongoing technological advances in the 19th century is true, with significant developments in electricity and communications occurring then.
Option 4 reads: 'In the 18th century, Industrial Revolution 1.0 entailed the transition to new manufacturing processes that were carried out by machines and powered by water and steam.' This option aligns with the traditional description of the first Industrial Revolution beginning in the 18th century, featuring mechanization, water and steam power, and new manufacturing processes, so it is historically accurate.
In summary, Option 2 is the problematic one because it incorrectly pairs Renaissance-era transformation with postmodernist/relativist thought, a much later phenomenon, while the other statements align more closely with established historical timelines, even if some phrasing around 'Industrial Revolution 2.0' is unconventional. The overall analysis requires recognizing that the Renaissance did not yield postmodernist or relativist thought, and that the later emergence of postmodernism does not retroactively belong to the 16th century.
