Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Cities were conducive for growth of art and literature.

Italy had its own cultural heritage. Due to invasion in other parts of Europe during dark ages, scholars, thinkers and artists fled and took refuge in Italy. Cities like Rome, Venice, and Geneva provided a conducive environment for Latin and Greek literature.
