The correct responses regarding the impact of the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation on the Scientific Revolution are:
1. **People became less reliant on the church.** - The Protestant Reformation encouraged individuals to question established authorities, including the church. This shift fostered an environment where people began to seek knowledge and explanations about the natural world beyond religious dogma.
2. **People were able to participate in the formation of government.** - Though not a direct impact on the Scientific Revolution, the Renaissance and Reformation inspired new ideas about governance and individual rights, which contributed to an atmosphere of inquiry and exploration, aligning with the scientific pursuit of understanding.
The first option contradicts the effects of the Renaissance and Reformation, while the second option suggests isolation from religion, which is not accurate as the movements led to a critical examination of religious beliefs rather than complete isolation.
