A. The arts and sciences flourished during both time periods.
Explanation:
The statement that states a false idea is statement A. It is not true that the arts and sciences flourished during both the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. While arts and sciences were present during both eras, the Renaissance saw a much larger production, a much deeper appreciation of these subjects and a higher quality of work in all areas.
The origin of the 1905 revolution goes back to the recently-concluded Russo-Japanese War, in which Japan placed a serious check on Russia's power to expand in East Asia. Many Russians saw this outcome as a source of humiliation, and supported an effort to remove the Tsar because of it.
