Humanities CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Humanists in Italy during the Renaissance believed in a "classical education" as a way to advance knowledge and critical thinking based on the study of classical Greek and Roman literature. Option A, formal education, refers to a traditional approach to education with a strict curriculum and set of rules. Option C, religious education, focuses on teaching religious beliefs and doctrines. Option D, technical education, is centered around providing practical skills and vocational training. While all of these forms of education may have been present in the Italian Renaissance, they were not the main focus of humanists who believed in the power of classical education.
