Answer:

The printing press helped spread literacy and literary works in vernacular languages.

Both effects are closely related to each other.

With the printing press, literary works could be quickly printed and distributed, instead of having to be manually copied by a scribe, like before. This increased literacy because the higher access to literary works prompted people to learn to read and write, in order to be able to read those works.
