Problem 5 - Entrance Test

Passage: The Renaissance was a period of intellectual ferment where humanism clashed with entrenched scholasticism. While humanists emphasized empirical observation and classical texts, scholastics maintained a dogmatic adherence to medieval theological doctrines. This tension ultimately revitalized European scholarship by forcing synthesis of old and new ideas.

Correct: C

Option 2 accurately reflects the passage's emphasis on conflict leading to revival. Option 0 overstates humanist dominance. Option 1 contradicts the 'revitalized' outcome described. Option 3 misrepresents the passage's account of scholastic dominance.
