(3). Yet, libraries did not exist until the 19th century, which slowed progress for peasants and the poor

Step-by-step explanation:

The renaissance period was a period from the 14th to 17th centuries that humanist views became quite popular. It was a period of rebirth in European culture, economy and politics. Individuals became open minded, curious, creative, and innovative. There was wide spread desire to learn new things as the popular humanistic views of this time brought more wealth and security during this period. However libraries did not exist till the 19th century. This is seen to contradict or critique the preceding summaries above as increased learning should have meant more libraries.
