OpenStudy (nurali):

i think She made Mantua a center of art and learning.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

She served as the regent of Mantua during the absence of her husband, Francesco II Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua and the minority of her son, Federico, Duke of Mantua. In 1500 she met King Louis XII of France in Milan on a diplomatic mission to persuade him not to send his troops against Mantua. She was a prolific letter-writer, and maintained a lifelong correspondence with her sister-in-law Elisabetta Gonzaga. Lucrezia Borgia was another sister-in-law; she later became the mistress of Isabella's husband. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_d'Este

@Nurali I know that it asked whats not true

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or D. @confluxepic

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes. That's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one A. or D.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Lets evaluate them all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe is c or at least that's what Google told me lol

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

She was part of the Italian Renaissance so I think A is wrong. B is true because that actually happened. So we can also rule that out. We already know C is wrong.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

We know C is wrong because it's correct.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

True not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so its b? it says whats not true so did b really happen or is it A?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

B did happen. The question asks about what is not true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is D.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

She was part of the Italian Renaissance. That means that A is true which is not what were looking for.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes. D is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Isabella, being naturally gifted and intellectually precocious in her youth, received an excellent education.
