All four responses are correct. Socrates had a significant impact on history by promoting critical thinking and reasoning, encouraging good citizenship, and training the philosopher Plato. However, it is also true that his criminal activity, namely questioning and challenging the established order and beliefs, led to his death as he was charged with impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens.
