You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: The Act of Seclusion barred this man from holding office in one nation. Daniel Defoe wrote The True-Born Englishman in defense of this man. This man defeated much of his opposition with a victory at the Battle of the Boyne, and he agreed to the Bill of Rights. For 10 points, name this king of England who took power in the Glorious Revolution along with his wife Mary.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: Gravitational redshift was measured by Pound, Rebka, and Snider in Harvard's Jefferson Tower using this technique to detect a frequency shift of order one part in ten to the 14th. It can be used for precise studies of the Zeeman effect in nuclei. Iron 57 and tin 119 are two of the isotopes used in this type of spectroscopy due to narrow linewidths in their transitions. Before this technique, the large size of Doppler shifts relative to transition widths made nuclear spectroscopy problematic. It was discovered by its namesake when he was a graduate student at the Munich University of Technology. FTP, what is this effect in which a crystal lattice reduces recoil energy

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: The blende of this element is used as a model crystal structure for semiconductors like indium\n phosphide. In one reaction, this element is used with alpha-halo esters to condense ketones or aldehydes to\n form beta-hydroxy-esters. When coupled with copper, this element reacts with alkenes to yield a\n cyclopropane. Those reactions are named for Reformatsky and Simmons-Smith. Found in the ore\n sphalerite, this element and hydrochloric acid reduce ketones to alkanes in the Clemmensen reduction. In\n proteins, this element makes "gag-knuckles," "treble-clefs," and other structures known as "fingers."\n Galvanized steel is coated in this element, and brass is an alloy of copper and this element. For 10 points,\n name this element with number 30 and symbol Zn.
