This passage is from a book of rules for monks written by St. Benedict. It was used to govern monasteries for hundreds of years. Idleness is the enemy of the soul. And therefore, at fixed times, the brothers ought to be occupied in manual labour; and again, at fixed times, in sacred reading . . . [T]here shall certainly be appointed one or two elders, who shall go round the monastery at the hours in which the brothers are engaged in reading, and see to it that no troublesome brother [can] be found who is open to idleness and trifling.

What is the main idea of the Benedictine Rule ?

Praying at all times is necessary to become a godly person.
Being idle and lazy is a negative trait brothers need to avoid.
Spending all of one’s time reading and studying is important to be a man of God.
Engaging in daily activities is necessary to avoid manual labor.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
