求问：一句话的理解

剑5，test2
Passage3，关于 the birth of scientific English
其中：36小问说：The most important scientific development of the Renaissance period was the discovery of magnetism.问T，F，NG（答案是false）
对应原文，这么一句，本人没有理解到，希望大家结合题目和原文，帮忙解释一下：
Such expansion, which was to take the English language west to America and east to India, was supported by scietific developments such as the discovery of magnetism (and hence the invention of the compass), improvements in cartography and - perhaps the most important scientific revolution of them all - the new theories of astronomy and the movement of the Earth in relation to the planets and stars, developed by Copernicus(1473-1543).
希望大家最好把原文的句子结构能够讲解一下，谢谢！！O(∩_∩)O~

红色部分为出题的题干。所以说是错的，应该是the new theories of astronomy and the movement of the Earth in relation to the planets and stars.
