Answer 1

B. The Renaissance revived many old ideas, while the Reformation

mostly created new ones.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Renaissance marks the period when art, culture and intellectual endeavors turned to the classical art and teachings of Greece and Rome. The revived past, in which Renaissance artists and scholars found inspiration to develop and explore new ideas and practices, influenced all arts and sciences. This new approach became known as humanism because it encouraged people to achieve something for themselves rather than simply accepting what they were taught as truth.

The Reformation is a religious and social movement that originated in Europe during the 16th century. It was an attempt to bring spiritual and structural changes to the Church, which led to the establishment of Reformed Christianity, that is, Protestantism.
