Peter made himself proficient in astronomy, [and] he perfectly well understood the motions of the heavenly bodies, as well as the laws of gravitation, by which they are directed. This force, now so evidently demonstrated, and before the time of the great Newton so little known, by which all the planets gravitate towards each other, and which retain them in their orbits, had already become familiar to a sovereign of Russia, while other countries amused themselves with imaginary theories, and, in Galileo’s nation, one set of ignorant persons ordered others, as ignorant, to believe the earth to be immovable.” Voltaire, History of the Russian Empire Under Peter the Great , 1759, discussing Tsar Peter I’s Grand Embassy, which traveled to western Europeat the end of the seventeenth century Based on the passage and historical context, which of the following best explains Peter the Great’s motivations for visiting England and Holland?

Take advantage of the advice of the clergy and nobility as much as you can; listen to them and be gracious to them all, as befits your position; recognize ability where you find it, so that you will increase the love and affection of your subjects toward you. . . . Seek to maintain friendly relations with the princes and nobility of the [Holy Roman] Empire. Correspond with them frequently and maintain your friendship with them. Be certain not to give them cause for ill will; try not to arouse emotions of jealousy or enmity, but be sure that you are in a strong position to maintain your weight in disputes that may arise. . . . It is wise to have alliances, if necessary, but it is better to rely on your own strength. You are in a weak position if you do not have the means and do not possess the confidence of the people. These are the things, God be praised, which have made me powerful since the time I began to have them.” Frederick William, the Great Elector of Brandenburg-Prussia, secret letter to his son and heir, 1667 Which of the following best summarizes the advice given by Frederick William in the first paragraph?
