Question

1. one way in which the writers of the renaissance were influenced by the writers of ancient greece was that renaissance writers--

promoted religious doctrines of the catholic church

showed little interest in secular affairs

produced few new scientific ideas and innovations

emphasized the power of human reason

clear all

Explanation:

Renaissance writers were influenced by ancient Greek focus on humanism. Ancient Greek thought valued human reason, and Renaissance humanism emphasized human potential/reason. The other options are incorrect: Renaissance often challenged Church dominance (so not promoting Catholic doctrines), were interested in secular affairs (opposite of "little interest"), and had many scientific innovations (opposite of "few new scientific ideas"). So the correct choice is the one about emphasizing human reason.

Answer:

D. emphasized the power of human reason
