Explanation:

Sub - question e

During the Renaissance, scholars were rediscovering the past in areas related to the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, as well as in the realm of philosophy (since the works of Greek and Roman philosophers were being re - examined). Also, areas like literature (classical texts) and art (classical artistic styles) were part of this rediscovery, but the most prominent in terms of intellectual rediscovery were Greek, Roman, and philosophical traditions.

During the Renaissance, new works of art were supported by patrons. These patrons included wealthy merchants (like the Medici family in Florence), nobles, and the Catholic Church (especially popes who were interested in promoting art that glorified the Church and its power). The Medici family is one of the most famous examples of patrons who funded many Renaissance artists.

Answer:

Greek, Roman, Philosophy (Other possible answers could include Literature, Art, etc. but these three are key in the intellectual rediscovery of the Renaissance)
