Answer 1

* **13.** The correct answer is **People should study secular subjects as well as sacred matters.** Renaissance humanists emphasized a balance between religious faith and the study of the classical world, including subjects like history, literature, philosophy, and art. They believed that humans had the capacity for reason and intellectual growth, and that exploring these secular subjects would enhance their understanding of the world and their place in it.* **17.** The correct answer is **emphasized the power of human reason.** Renaissance writers, inspired by ancient Greek philosophers, placed a strong emphasis on humanism, which celebrated human potential and the power of reason. This contrasted with the medieval focus on religious dogma and divine authority.* **The major reason the Renaissance began in Italy:** The correct answer is **Italian city-states had grown wealthy from trade between Europe and Asia.** Italy's location made it a central hub for trade between East and West. This trade brought wealth to Italian city-states, which in turn allowed them to fund artists, scholars, and writers, fostering the flourishing of the Renaissance. The wealth also created a merchant class that was more interested in worldly matters than solely religious ones, further contributing to the Renaissance spirit.
