○ literature in vernacular languages meant people didn’t have to learn how to read anymore

○ literature in vernacular languages made information harder for people to access.

○ literature in vernacular languages meant people didn’t have to learn latin or greek anymore.

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Leonardo da Vinci’s patrons supported his inventive ideas (e.g., flying machine concepts), which later inspired modern scientists/engineers. The claim he built the first flying machine is false; he only designed it. His art focused on more than just Christian themes, and his influence is clear, so the third option is correct.
2. For the second question: Translations of Greek/Roman texts by Muslim scholars preserved classical knowledge, which fueled the Renaissance’s scientific, artistic, and philosophical growth in Europe. The other options misstate the impact (Islamic ideas weren’t the core focus, translations didn’t directly cause Church reform, or force Muslim themes in art).
3. For the third question: Vernacular literature (written in local languages) made information accessible to people who didn’t know Latin/Greek, unlike the incorrect claims about eliminating reading need or reducing access.

1. Da Vinci’s patrons gave him the time and money to develop ideas for inventions, such as a flying machine. These ideas inspired scientists and engineers in modern societies.
