After reading each statement concerning literature, we can answer with True or False in the following manner:

1. TRUE

2. FALSE

3. TRUE

4. FALSE

5. TRUE

Let's analyze each statement separately:

1. It is true that, in the Middle Ages, monks worked hard to transcribe books. First, there was no way to print books back in the Middle Ages. Everything had to be done by hand.

Second, monks were part of the few scholars of the time. Since they could retreat from the world and dedicate their lives to religion and learning, they were the ones doing the hard work to transcribe books and transmit knowledge.

2. The epic poem "Beowulf" did not really use rhymes. It relied more on alliteration, which is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Rhyme would be repetition of final sounds.

3. It is true that "Beowulf" contains ideals that are both Pagan/Germanic and Christian. For example, the poem makes references to the Christian God as well as to Norse gods.

4. The literary work "The Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer, is known for its rich characterization. Each of the characters is well described, be it directly or indirectly. After reading, we can tell what adjectives would best describe each one of them.

5. "Pilgrim's Progress" is indeed a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan.
