QUESTION 1
The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century
revolutionized the spread of the English language. Before the printing press, manuscripts were
laboriously hand-copied, making books rare and expensive. With the advent of the printing
press, mass production of books became possible, significantly reducing costs and increasing
accessibility. William Caxton introduced the printing press to England in 1476, publishing works
such as Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales." This was crucial for standardizing English
spelling and grammar, as printed materials provided a uniform model for the language. The
press facilitated the dissemination of English literature, religious texts, and scholarly works,
