Anorthern renaissance writer who criticized the catholic church was a: william shakespeare. b: jan van eyck. c: albrecht dürer. d: desiderius erasmus.

The correct answer is D. The Northern Renaissance writer who criticized the Catholic Church was Desiderius Erasmus.

Explanation:

Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam was a Dutch humanist who sought to reconcile the Christian faith with the formation of antiquity. By publishing the Greek text of the New Testament in parallel with a new Latin translation in 1516, he initiated a new era in the history of Bible translation and scientific Bible study. His criticism of ecclesiastical abuses and religious mischief prepared the way for the Reformation. However, when Luther attacked the freedom of the will, there was a break between them, because Erasmus sought reform in the Church - not a split of it.

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
