Question

Answers:
Planets Fixed on nested spheres
Geocentric
Planets fixed on epicycles
Accurately predicted the positions of the planets

Answer 1

Here’s how to categorize the items based on their relation to Aristotle’s and Ptolemy’s models of the solar system:

Aristotle's Model:

• Planets fixed on nested spheres
• Geocentric

Ptolemy's Model:

• Planets fixed on epicycles
• Accurately predicted the positions of the planets

Both Models:

• Geocentric (Both Aristotle and Ptolemy's models are geocentric, meaning they both placed the Earth at the center of the universe.)

So, "Geocentric" can be placed under both Aristotle and Ptolemy. All other items are specific to their respective models.
