The correct response is:
Humanists learned Greek and Latin and were eager to rediscover works of ancient scholars.
Renaissance humanists studied classical texts from ancient Greece and Rome, which emphasized observation, reason, and empirical evidence. This rekindling of interest in antiquity, along with the revival of the study of classical languages, helped lay the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution by encouraging new approaches to knowledge and inquiry that valued human reason and the physical world, rather than solely relying on religious or superstitious explanations.
