Question

what was one major result of people moving from urban to rural areas after the fall of the roman empire?
○ many people had no access to schools, so education declined.
○ new schools were built in rural areas rather than in cities.
○ children learned as much about farming as they did about school subjects.
○ students often traveled long distances to reach urban schools.

Explanation:

After the fall of the Roman Empire, urban centers declined, and infrastructure like schools (which were more common in urban areas) became less accessible as people moved to rural areas. Option A reflects this decline in education access. Option B is incorrect as new schools weren’t built in rural areas; resources were scarce. Option C is not accurate as formal education declined, so farming (practical survival) took precedence over school subjects. Option D is incorrect because people moved to rural areas, so traveling to urban schools would be less likely, and access was limited.

Answer:

A. Many people had no access to schools, so education declined.
