Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The growth of schools in twelfth-century Europe was primarily due to the general economic revival and the emergence of strong government. With the growth of towns and cities, commerce and trade flourished, leading to increased wealth that could be spent on education. Additionally, some rulers established universities and schools to promote learning and establish their authority. The rediscovery of Aristotle's works (A) played a role in the growth of universities, but it was not the primary reason. The rapid increase in literacy beginning in the eleventh century (B) was another factor that contributed to the growth of schools, but it was not the main reason. The benevolent legislation of several reform-minded popes (D) and the establishment of national schools by strong national monarchs (E) were not significant factors in the growth of schools in twelfth-century Europe.
