Which two of the following were outcomes of the council of trent? the church gave catholic sacraments the same significance as the bible. the church recognized the translation of the bible into common languages. the church compromised on luther’s ninety-five theses. the church excommunicated paul iii for selling indulgences. the church stated that faith and good works are required for salvation.

It's not D. since even today some people (may not be specifically Catholic, but certainly many Christian groups) sell indulgences.
It's also not A. since it was, and still is the Protestants who believe the Bible holds everything that they need, and the Sacraments have no value, while on the other hand Catholics have realized the sacraments that Christ gave us and explained to us through his word within the Bible. Finally, it's not C. because the church excommunicated Martin Luther who at one point was a priest.
It makes sense that B and E are the answers since 1. The message of the church had been limited to latin for hundreds of years and 2. The church sold indulgences to those who didn't want to have faith or commit works of good to enter into salvation, rather, they wanted an easy way out.

The answer is challenging and taxing because arduous means when something is hard and tiring and the excerpt provides clear detail why that's the answer

The answer is protestant reformation.
