Read the
passage carefully
and choose the correct answer.
Direct attacks on illiteracy take two main forms, adult education and the
establishment of public schools with compulsory attendance for children. In
many countries, there are certain programs which have been instituted, to fight
adult illiteracy; and universal public education has almost eliminated illiteracy
among the young. Soldiers have been appointed effectively as instructors for the
public.
Throughout most of history most people have been illiterate. In former
society, the ability to read and write was of value only to the clergy and
aristocracy. The first known reference to "literate laymen" did not appear until
the end of the 14th century. Illiteracy was not seen as a problem until after the
invention of printing in the 15th century. The first significant decline in illiteracy
came with the Reformation, when translation of the Bible into the vernacular
became widespread and Protestant converts were taught to read it. Revolutionary
political movements from the 18th to the 20th century generally included an
attack on illiteracy as one of their goals, with the former Soviet Union, China,
and Cuba being among the most successful in the 20th century.
