To answer the question, we need to refer to the text "Books Before and After Johannes Gutenberg, Illuminate."
From the text, we learn about the process of making medieval books. It mentions that monks in monasteries made the books. This tells us that the creation of books was closely related to the religious practices of the time. Therefore, the answer "Monks in monasteries made the books, so they were usually about religion" is the correct response.
The other options provided in the responses are not directly supported by the given information. Although it is mentioned that the books had hand-drawn pictures, there is no explicit connection made between the pictures and the subject matter of the books. Similarly, the fact that the books were written in Latin does not necessarily indicate that they were about things that interested Romans. Lastly, although scribes copied each book by hand, there is no mention of the books being about things that could be explained briefly.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Monks in monasteries made the books, so they were usually about religion."
