Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a): The world around him.

Explanation :

In his search for a model of virtuous behavior, Petrarch turned to the world around him: he turned to Stoism in order to express how refined humanist education programs could encourage virtuous behavior. Stoism encourages one to use their mind to comprehend the nature of the world, play their part in it, and use virtue to treat others justly and fairly.
