Explanation:

Question 18

To determine if the statement about Venice being a republic is correct, we recall the definition of a republic: a state where power is held by the people or their elected representatives, not a king. Venice's republic was governed by a council, not a king. So the statement is false.

Christian humanism during the Renaissance did combine classical learning (from Greek and Roman texts) and individualism with the aim of reforming the Catholic Church (e.g., Erasmus' work). The definition matches, so the statement is true.

Analyze each word: "undergo" means experience, "shift" means change, "perspective" means a point of view, "structure" means a system/construction, "version" means a form/interpretation. So "perspective" refers to point of view.

Answer:

False
