Answer 1

The most accurate description of the achievements of the Renaissance scientists listed is as follows:

Renaissance Scientists
Scientist Achievement
Leonardo da Vinci Created plans for flying and underwater devices
Nicolaus Copernicus Proposed that the sun was the center of the universe
Tycho Brahe Established an astronomical observatory to track the movement of the stars and planets
Johannes Kepler Calculated the orbits of the planets revolving around the sun
Galileo Galilei Improved the telescope, observed celestial bodies, and supported the heliocentric theory

Therefore, the correct chart, based on historical data, is:

Renaissance Scientists
Scientist Achievement
Leonardo da Vinci Created plans for flying and underwater devices
Nicolaus Copernicus Proposed that the sun was the center of the universe (heliocentrism)
Tycho Brahe Established an astronomical observatory to track the movement of the stars and planets
Johannes Kepler Calculated the orbits of the planets revolving around the sun (Kepler's laws of planetary motion)
Galileo Galilei Invented an improved astronomical telescope to observe the moon and other celestial bodies, provided evidence supporting the Copernican heliocentric model

This selection correctly matches each Renaissance scientist with their major scientific contribution.
