C. Many used rational thought and empirical evidence to explain the world around them.

Explanation:

This is one of the main reasons why Greece was able to produce such unusual and advanced thinkers. Although Greece was religious and superstitious like many ancient civilizations, their religion was not incompatible with the use of reason and the pursuit of knowledge. In fact, these qualities were encouraged among the population. This meant that people were more likely to pursue research and use critical thinking, which led to the development of a large number of philosophers and scholars.

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
