Answer 1

Answer:

The Option B is correct.

Explanation:

The B option is correct i.e. Though it was considered the "Dark Ages", brave men and women laid the foundation for a better age.

The idea of the "Dark Ages" comes to us due to the unfairness of intellectuals. When the reawakening of the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome began, people were captivated by their knowledge and their progressions. They began to think of this age, and their own, as the periods of awareness. The period in-between was considered the "Middle Ages" and was measured a time of darkness, superstition and illiteracy. Despite its name, the "Dark Ages" was in fact a period of imaginative and cultural growth, and it laid the fundamentals for the future.
