Question

Scribes were the people _____________.

• A. who wrote their own works
• B. who made copies of others' works
• C. who helped illiterate people to write their own books
• D. who loved writing as a pastime

Answer 1

The correct option is B who made copies of others' works

Scribes were the people who made copies of the work of others as there was no printing press in those days. They made minor edits and mistakes while making such copies. As a result of this, we may never know the original version of any given work.
