The statement that was common during the Middle Ages is: **The majority of the population was uneducated.**
During the Middle Ages, education was largely limited to the clergy and a small elite, with most of the population lacking access to formal education. The other statements are not accurate for that period: microscopes were not invented until the late Renaissance, literacy was not widespread, and the Church often viewed certain scientific inquiries with suspicion.
