Without free books and newspapers who had more control over ideas in the old times?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The state and censors

Before the expansion of free printing and public journalism, rulers and state-appointed censors could exercise strong control over the circulation of ideas. They could inspect, prohibit or suppress books, newspapers and pamphlets that challenged official authority. Consequently, option A is correct. Common readers had less influence when printed material was restricted and literacy and access were limited. Children and street artists were not the principal institutions responsible for regulating publications. The question illustrates the governing contrast between censorship and freedom of expression: when communication channels are controlled, the state can shape what people are allowed to read and discuss; when censorship weakens, information and political criticism can circulate more widely.
