For, before the invention of the printing press, reading and writing were skills【G3】________only to scholars. Most of the scholars were priests and clergymen, and Latin was the language of the church. Latin was a subject【G4】________in schools and in colleges, and all【G5】________people had some familiarity【G6】________it.
