Why did the spread of ideas after the Revolution not remain limited only to literate people?

Correct answer: Because songs plays and processions also became media

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Revolutionary ideas reached beyond literate people because communication did not depend only on reading books. The chain is: printed ideas were shared in newspapers and pamphlets; songs carried them orally; plays showed them through characters and action; processions displayed symbols and messages in public; listeners and viewers then repeated what they had learned. Thus oral and visual communication connected with people who could not read. Option A is correct because it names songs, plays and processions as alternative media. Option B is wrong because closing books would reduce one route of communication, not explain wider spread. Option C is wrong because censors tried to restrict ideas rather than spread them. Option D is wrong because people certainly lived in towns and villages, and the main issue was the availability of different communication methods, not their absence from towns. Exam cue: if literacy is limited, look for oral, visual and public forms of communication.
