The characteristics of the Enlightenment Movement include:

  1. Writers question absolute monarch systems
  2. Writers question the theory of divine right
  3. 1700's Time Period
  4. Ideas like voting, branches of government, and religious freedom grew
  5. Inspired independence movements
  6. Inspired revolutions
  7. Classical music was born during this era (though note that this is more associated with the broader timeline of the Classical period in music, which overlaps with the Enlightenment)
  8. Technology increases trade, travel, and agricultural practices (though this is more reflective of the broader changes during the Enlightenment, like the Agricultural Revolution)

The following options are not applicable:

  • 1900's Time Period
  • The only books printed were about government
  • A new style of art (surrealism) was developed (Surrealism developed in the 20th century)
  • People decide that they do not have any say so in their government (this is contrary to the Enlightenment's advocacy for participation and inquiry)
  • The Internet was a new technology (the Internet is a product of the late 20th century, not the Enlightenment era)

So the applicable selections would be the first eight listed above.
