The Northern Renaissance

Question 2 • FL-2109310-World History Sem 1 - Flex

Which best explains why the Gutenberg press transformed European society?

Answer
A
It increased printing speed while reducing cost, decreasing the number of books written in the vernacular.
B
It increased printing speed while reducing type size, decreasing the size of books.
C
It increased printing speed while reducing cost, allowing printed ideas to spread more widely and quickly.
D
It increased printing speed while reducing cost, allowing publishers to make more money.

Explanation

The Gutenberg press made it faster and cheaper to produce books than copying them by hand. As a result, more people could obtain printed works, so ideas and information spread more widely and quickly across Europe. Choice C describes this social impact; making publishers more money alone does not explain how the press transformed society.
