The two features that distinguished cathedral schools from monastic schools are:
1. **They educated boys not necessarily entering the clergy** - Cathedral schools often served a broader population, including boys from the nobility and others who were not destined for clerical roles.
2. **They were involved in business and correspondence** - Cathedral schools often had links to the urban environment and were more engaged with the practical aspects of society, such as business, law, and administration, compared to monastic schools, which focused more on religious training and monastic life.
So, the correct options are: "They educated boys not necessarily entering the clergy" and "They were involved in business and correspondence."
