explain how renaissance humanists influenced the scientific revolution. (1 point)
○ humanists were inspired by islamic scholars and spread the islamic culture to europe.
○ humanists learned greek and latin and were eager to rediscover works of ancient scholars.
○ humanists started universities to study ancient works from greece.
○ humanists returned to the learnings of the church and the texts of the bible.

Explanation:

Renaissance humanists prioritized studying Greek and Latin to access ancient Greek/Roman scholarly works (e.g., Aristotle, Ptolemy). This rediscovery of classical texts revived empirical and rational inquiry, laying groundwork for the Scientific Revolution’s focus on observation and evidence. Other options are incorrect: spreading Islamic culture is not a humanist core role, universities predate humanism, and humanists shifted from church-centric learning.

Answer:

Humanists learned Greek and Latin and were eager to rediscover works of ancient scholars.
