Answer 1

Your answer is B.  Printing became easier and less time-consuming, leading in part to the birth of the newspaper. The printing press, however; was still not very common and it took several years for the newspaper to take off. 

Answer 2

Answer: A. Gutenberg's printing press made newspapers very popular. Because they were so popular, they were printed daily.

This is the statement that is false about the relationship between the Renaissance and the newspaper. While it is a fact that the printing press was a significant influence in the development of newspapers, it took several years before the newspaper became common enough to be printed daily. While the printing press was created around 1440, and Venice had a proto-newspaper in the 15th century, it was only until the late 17th century that newspapers began to be published regularly in most European countries.
