The Italian Renaissance was encouraged by all of the following except:
  1. Increased wealth from trade and silver mining
  2. The black death
  3. New ideas (in science and technology) from outside of Europe
  4. A decline in the church’ cultural involvement
  5. Improvements in the quality of education
Explanation
Answer: D - The Catholic Church’s involvement didn’t decline during the Renaissance; the Church was one of, if not the, biggest patron of Renaissance artists. Though the Reformation began during the late Renaissance and the common approach to theology was changed (emphasizing life on Earth over the afterlife in Heaven, for example), the Church remained incredibly wealthy. Many of the greatest artistic works of the period were commissioned by the Church.
