Answer:
The geocentric model appealed to mans' vanity, being in the center of everything. Simply, it satisfied their self-thought thus leaving no room for questioning its validity.
Explanation:
The geocentric and heliocentric models were the two main models proposed on how our solar system is laid out. Geocentric, coming from the word 'geo' meaning earth and 'centric' being center said that the Earth was the center of our solar system and the rest of the planets rotated and revolved around it. This model appealed to mans' vanity, this theory was promoted by Egyptian mathematician, Ptolemy. This theory was incorporated into religious dogma thus creating false credit. Ptolemy's calculations were correct, but his assumptions were not: the earth was motionless, circular orbits for planets, all celestial bodies orbit the earth etc. This was until Keppler and Galielo proved him wrong with his assumptions giving rise to the valid, Heliocentric model where the sun is the center of our solar system, planets have elliptical orbits and other planets had bodies orbiting them.

Answer:
Option (1)
Explanation:
The Taconic Mountains are located in the eastern side of New York City which was formed due to the sharing of a convergent type of plate boundary between the North American plate and a volcanic island arc which resembles the state of Taiwan. The ridge of this mountain at certain places is comprised of tilted sandstone and conglomerate rocks and also there is the presence of metamorphosed rock layers.
This mountain was formed about 450 million years back, during the time of Ordovician.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
