Step-by-step explanation:

Both monks and nuns withdrew from the world, preserved learning in books, and were active in spreading Christianity across Europe. Monks were men, nuns were women. Benedict divided the day into a series of activities that emphasized prayer and manual labor. The monastery was to be self-sustaining, and monks took a vow of poverty.
