Answer 1

(X) Roman ideas had to be reintroduced centuries later after being lost by Europeans.

Brief explanation: After the fall of the West, formal Roman education and urban literacy declined in Western Europe; classical learning was preserved unevenly (mainly in monasteries and the Byzantine world) and was gradually reintroduced in later centuries (Carolingian reforms, medieval universities, and the Renaissance).
