Answer:

Prayer, copying books, manual works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Medieval Monks had a series of activities they had to do inside the monastery. Some had specific duties, others rotated through activities.

They had to take care of the wine cellar, the garden, the infirmary, the library, and the scriptorium. Early in the morning, they had silent work which consisted of prayers, reading the text they had been assigned by their superior or copying a book. Monks also were known to care for the community by helping the poor.

The day would begin with the ringing of bells as a signal to prayer which averaged about 5 hours every day.
Meals were served once daily during the winter, and twice a day during the summer. and silence was observed during every meal.
Three hours of every day was spent in manual labor with a great emphasis on agriculture, growing their own crops.
