Answer:
All the answers are correct.
Explanation:
A monastery is a building or an assembly of buildings that serves to house a group or community of men or women, often called monks or nuns, who have withdrawn from the world to live a religious life.
In the Middle Ages, monasteries were often intellectual and economic centers. Thus, the monasteries controlled the writing of books (since the monks were the only ones who at that time had the ability to read and write, as well as the time to write by hand the different books that were released), with which they also controlled what society was going to learn and what would remain in the dark, since it was not in the interests of the Church.
This, in turn, gave the monasteries ample political weight, since the main rulers of the time linked with religious leaders to obtain legitimacy through this ideological diffusion.
But, in addition, monasteries controlled large tracts of land. These were usually used for the cultivation and agricultural production, with which the monasteries had a very strong economic role, being on many occasions suppliers of raw materials for the kings and rulers themselves.
