Read the paragraph. Although he is less well-known than Galileo, Copernicus was one of the first great iconoclasts of the Renaissance. Copernicus challenged the
Earth-centered view of the universe that had been popular in Europe for nearly two thousand years. He theorized that the Sun, rather than the
Earth, was the center of the known universe. Not only did this theory form the basis of modern astronomy, but it became one of the foundations of
the Scientific Revolution. Galileo promoted Copernicus's beliefs in a heliocentric universe and was sent to prison for his support of this radical new
belief.
Which is the meaning of iconoclast in the paragraph?
1. someone who publicizes the work of previous thinkers
O 2. someone who studies the history of the Renaissance
O 3. someone who attacks widely accepted beliefs
4. someone who is sent to prison for a crime

O. Henry is known for his "twist endings," and the ending of "The Gift of the Magi" is probably the most famous of them all. At the end of the story Della cuts and sells her hair to buy Jim a chain for his watch, and Jim sells his watch to buy Della combs for her hair. Here we have a classic case of irony.

This Story was THE BEST Hoped i helped have a great weekend! :)
