The following responses are correct regarding the issues or events that brought on the civil war in England:

  1. The king needed money to fight a Scottish rebellion, but Parliament refused to approve the money.
  2. Charles I believed in the divine right of kings and tried to rule absolutely.

The other two statements, while they may reflect tensions at the time, are not direct triggers for the Civil War as clearly as the first and third ones listed. Therefore, they are not considered correct in the context of the immediate causes of the English Civil War. The combined issues of financial disputes and the king’s belief in his absolute authority were significant factors in the conflict that led to the war.
