Answer 1

Answer: A) It was the most populous country in Europe C) Paris was the world's intellectual capital at the time. D) Trends in fashion and literature began here.

Step-by-step explanation:

All these factors are an excellent basis for spreading the ideas of the Enlightenment. Ideas that proclaimed human freedom thought and the encouragement of science and culture needed a place where true values were encouraged, and France in the late 17th and early 18th centuries was the best place for such a thing. The Enlightenment as a movement spread to the rest of Europe and the United States.
