Explanation

During the English Renaissance, education was primarily designed for the sons of the nobility and gentry, often delivered by private tutors or in grammar schools. The curriculum was largely based on the medieval trivium (grammar, rhetoric, logic) and quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy). However, the emphasis was more on Latin rather than ancient Greek, which was not the main language of diplomacy or higher learning at that time, making option B incorrect.
