During the early sixteenth-century attitudes about mineral exploitation changed due to the influence of two important books. In effect, a new dignity was ascribed to
A. metal ore mining.
B. coal mining.
C. precious metal mining.
D. precious metal importing
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the influence of the two important books during the early sixteenth-century and how they changed attitudes about mineral exploitation.
To start, we can search for information about influential books during that time period that discuss mineral exploitation.
One possible approach is to search for books that were published during the early sixteenth-century and focused on mining or mineral resources.
Using a search engine, you can enter keywords like "important books about mining in the sixteenth-century" or "books that influenced attitudes about mineral exploitation in the 1500s."
After conducting the search, you should be able to find sources that discuss the influential books and their impact on attitudes towards mineral exploitation during that time period.
Once you have identified the books and their content, you can analyze the information to determine which of the options A, B, C, or D (metal ore mining, coal mining, precious metal mining, or precious metal importing) align with the new dignity ascribed to mineral exploitation in the early sixteenth-century.
Taking into consideration the content of the books and the prevailing attitudes of the time, you will be able to select the correct answer.
