    En muchas revoluciones los impresores han sido perseguidos pues de sus talleres ha salido material controversial.

    • Verdadero

    • Falso

    Correct Answer
    A. Verdadero
    Explanation
    En muchas revoluciones, los impresores han sido perseguidos debido a que sus talleres han producido material controversial. Esto se debe a que los impresores tienen el poder de difundir información y opiniones a través de sus impresiones, lo que puede influir en la opinión pública y desafiar el status quo. Los gobiernos y líderes en tiempos de revolución a menudo ven esto como una amenaza y buscan suprimir la libertad de prensa y perseguir a los impresores para mantener el control sobre la narrativa y evitar la propagación de ideas subversivas.

    El proceso de la fundición de tipos usaba:

    • Hierro, mercurio y antimonio

    • Mercurio y hierro

    Correct Answer
    A. Plomo, antimonio y estaño
    Explanation
    El proceso de la fundición de tipos utilizaba plomo, antimonio y estaño. Estos metales se combinaban en proporciones específicas para crear una aleación conocida como tipo de metal. El plomo era el componente principal, ya que tenía un bajo punto de fusión y permitía que el tipo se fundiera fácilmente. El antimonio se agregaba para mejorar la dureza y la resistencia a la corrosión, mientras que el estaño se utilizaba para mejorar la fluidez y la capacidad de llenado del metal líquido en los moldes. Juntos, estos tres metales eran fundamentales para el proceso de fundición de tipos en la imprenta.
