b. scientific discoveries were less likely to be widely known
c. interest in the Americas declined
d. the middle ages

Answer 1

A. Literacy rates increased

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the Gutenberg press was created, people depended on the priest or the literates to read to them about the bible or the news. They were not telling the truth about what the bible really said, and used people's fear to make them buy Indulagence. However, Martin Luther was against this and wrote books preaching against the church. A way to get these new teachings to the people was to make many copies of them by using the Gutenberg press.
