The Renaissance was the Golden Age of: Select one:
Vocal music accompanied by large instrumental ensembles
Choral composition for small ensembles
Compositions for large choral ensembles
Compositions for solo voice and instrumental ensemble

None of the answers available; the Renaissance witnessed the birth of instrumental music.

Explanation:

The early Renaissance secular music was mostly vocal (the religious tradition) but instrumental music in its own right was developing rapidly, due to the humanistic movement that broke free from the religious spell. This Renaissance instrumental music was very much depending on the European courts. Renaissance instrumentalists like Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger (1580-1650) and Francisco da Milano (1497-1543) and other found a willing ear among the European courts for their instrumental transcriptions of vocal music, using the lute as the most adequate instrument to do so.

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
