Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: C - While the Italian Renaissance was chiefly known for its developments in the arts, the Portuguese Renaissance was defined by significant developments in navigation. The movement manifested differently in each culture. In Portugal, the Renaissance impacted navigation more than art-the Portuguese developed superior directional implements (particularly maps) and vessels. Subsequently, as the Age of Exploration was dawning, the Portuguese were better equipped than their European counterparts to take to the seas.
