Question

How did the Renaissance contribute to the Scientific Revolution? (5 points) Renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work, and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the Scientific Revolution. Renaissance thinkers focused little on observation of the natural world, and the Scientific Revolution was an inevitable rebellion against this practice. Because Renaissance scientists were largely unsuccessful, the Church was forced to fund a Scientific Revolution to improve quality of life. Because Renaissance scientists used such accurate measurements in their experiments, later scientists could drastically improve the scientific process in other areas.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work, and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the Scientific Revolution

Explanation:

The Renaissance was a historical period between the 14th century and the 17th century, during this period many of the aspects that prevail during the Middle Ages ended and these were replaced by new ideas that led to the early modern period. One of these aspects was the humanism or focus on the individual and reasoning rather than on God and faith, this implied instead of explaining events in the world through faith individuals were motivated to try to understand them through reasoning.

Additionally, the ideas and hypotheses created about the world lead to the Scientific Revolution in the 16th century as science expanded and ideas were tested in multiple areas including biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. This means, due to the Renaissance people began questioning different aspects and during the Scientific Revolution these ideas were tested (Option A).
