Review the biography and then answer the question.
Johannes Gutenberg was born in Mainz, Germany, in 1398. Today he is known as the inventor of the modern printing press. When he was young, books weren't like they are today. Most books were actually manuscripts, or texts written by hand. Manuscripts took a long time to make and were expensive. Only rich people could afford them. Gutenberg wanted more people to be able to enjoy reading. His printing press made it easier and cheaper to print books, so more people could own books.
What is the text's main purpose?
A. To highlight Gutenburg's belief in social equality.
B. To inform readers about the cost of books in the 14th century.
C. To explain the historical importance of manuscripts.
D. To inform readers about Gutenberg's invention of the printing press.
