By the 1980’s, according to international but admitted inconsistent definitions of literacy, about seven (1) ten adults in the world were considered (2). The increase in literacy from ancient (3) to the present has not been a story of unbroken progress. The ability of people within a given (4) to read and write (5) influenced by a number of (6), including (7) well-being, the (8) of material (9), the amount of education available, and the basic matter of the usefulness of reading.
(10) those factors, usefulness has probably been the most (11). In ancient societies, as people (12) into stable patterns of agriculture and trade, it became useful for some of them to read and write in order to keep (13), to (14) business, and to (15) amounts of land, animals, goods, materials, and products. Since all economic aspects of a society were closely (16) to the operation of the government, literacy became useful and even (17) for the keeping of records by officials. The responsibilities of citizenship led to a fairly high level of literacy in ancient Greece and Rome, but in addition to that, there also grew an appreciation of good literature, poetry, drama, history, and philosophy.
During the early Middle Ages, with the general (18) of society in Europe and the decrease of commerce, literacy became largely confined (19) the church. But in the (20) Middle Ages, in the period of Renaissance, the great expansion of commerce and banking led to a revival in literacy for the same reason that had caused it to increase in the ancient world usefulness.
