3. The literacy rate began to rise as interest in learning grew.

4. Books became available to many people throughout Europe.

Before the results of the printing press, when Johannes Gutenberg invented it in 1440, only about thirty percent of European adults were literate (could read and write). His invention flooded Europe with printed material which is when literacy rates began to rise after interest in learning increased.

Trevor Farmer · Answer 2

This is, surely, the precise answer, because printing press offered to common people the chance to read papers. This way, literacy rates were increasing at the same time the people were more interested in reading activities, because books were expensive and designated for noble people.
