Answer 2

D. A parent encourages her daughter to focus on her own performance rather than on the record of her soccer team.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Renaissance was a movement that lasted from the 14th to the 17th century and that was marked by an intensive search for knowledge instead of an over-concentration in religion or God. People still believed in God but they placed more emphasis on the development of humans than on the many doctrines and theologies of the church.

Individualism was one of the ideas promoted by this movement. People were encouraged to develop their talents and abilities without paying much attention to society. Institutions such as the church were no longer allowed to exercise much hold on individuals, rather, each person had to own his life, knowledge, and strengths. A parent who encourages her daughter to work on her talents in spite of the society is promoting Individualism, one of the renaissance ideas of humanity.
