Question

Which statements accurately explain why the Renaissance began in the Italian city-states?

Answer 1

The statements that best explain why the Renaissance began in the Italian city-states would be that "a. Italy is in a good, central location for business and commerce so traders maintained contact with people and ideas from other places" and "Italy had been the center of the Roman Empire, and people there saw Roman ruins and knew about the classics," although a greater example is that there were many rich patrons who were willing to subsidize many art projects and artists.
