Explanation:

Question 3:

In medieval times, Latin was the dominant language for literature. Using local languages made literature accessible to more people who did not know Latin. Italian did not become the primary European language due to this; the Church did not recognize it as the best way; and it had no direct link to university enrollments.

Question 4:

The Black Death killed a large portion of the population. Survivors often inherited wealth and property, which gave them more resources to commission and support art. While the Black - Death was a subject for art, the main factor in art growth was the new - found wealth of survivors. The Church's control weakened, and people being indoors was not the main reason for art growth.

Question 5:

Bede was a scholar, Petrarch was a poet of the Renaissance, and Scholastica was Benedict's sister who founded a convent but is not mainly associated with the practice of daily silence for monks.
