Answer 1

Correct answer: "This period demonstrated the rebirth of aspects of art from the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations."

Brief explanation: Renaissance artists and thinkers revived classical learning, techniques, and ideals from ancient Greece and Rome (realistic proportion, perspective, human-centered subjects, classical architecture and sculpture). That renewed interest in antiquity and humanistic study is why the era is called a "rebirth."
