Answer 1

The best choice is: "The scientific method was a new way to solve problems and do research."

Explanation: The scientific method is a systematic process of observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and revision used to investigate questions and test ideas. The other options describe something else (a specific astronomical theory, ancient Greek reasoning in general, or a set of theories opposing the Church), not the scientific method itself.
