Answer 1

The correct answer is C) were forbidden from studying theology.

All of the following were true of university students EXCEPT they were forbidden from studying theology.

What was true about the students was that they studied Latin translations of ancient texts, learned the habit of reasoned argument, and were infamous for their fighting, drinking, and gambling.

Those were the years in which students had to study theology and other religious studies in order to understand the religious principles that influenced medieval times during the dark ages. Let's have in mind that during medieval times and according to Christianity, humanity had a special place in the existence that placed them below the angelic realm but way above the animal kingdom.
