Answer:
The correct answer is D) so they could read the Bible
Explanation:
The Puritans were a Christian sect that believe that the Catholics had strayed away from the true message of the bible. Originally from middle England, the group developed a distinctive group and religious gatherings. The aim was to 'Purify' the Christian faith, hence the name Puritans.
This unique culture lead them to believe in the importance of education at a time when very few people could actually read and write. Most of the educated people were the clergy, who then, held a lot of power over the common man.
Puritans believed that an educated person could read and study the bible better and eventually turn into a better person. This would also help them differentiate between the true teachings of Christ and the false ones which were being delivered by the clergy.
