What influenced music and the minds of people during the middle ages?

a) secular music
b) musical instruments
c) church
d) humanism

The correct answer is C. church.

Music and the minds of people during the Middle Ages were mostly influenced by religion, the church. Secular music was still not a thing - it refers to worldly music, not related to religion. Musical instruments were used to perform music, but they did not actually inspire it. Humanism came after the Middle Ages - the Middle Ages lasted until the 15th century, and humanism started in the 15th, 16th centuries.

However, church was omnipresent at the time - everyone was religious, and if they were not, they were considered heathens. Therefore it is only natural that religion would influence most spheres of life during the Middle Ages.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
