Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Medieval monks copied ancient manuscripts and kept them preserved in various libraries and museums. In this way, a good deal of the literature and history from ancient Greece and Rome was preserved.
Detailed explanation-2: -Latin was sung, chanted and recited during the many liturgical hours, and also read in the refectory, taught in the monastic school, and copied and composed in the scriptorium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Medieval education was largely centred around religion and was almost exclusively for the children of wealthy families. There were monastic and cathedral schools, where students were taught Latin and often prepared for a life in the church. Knights also received a different kind of education.
Detailed explanation-4: -Monasteries were also important centres of learning which educated the young, and, perhaps most significantly for today’s historians, laboriously produced books and preserved ancient texts which have greatly enhanced our knowledge of not only the medieval world but also classical antiquity.
