Directions: Read the passage, and answer the question that follows.

The Black Death

A The growing cities of the Middle Ages could be exciting places. However, many were dark, unsafe, and unhealthy. Streets were narrow, crooked, and filthy. There were no streetlights or police. Many people did not go out alone at night for fear of robbers. If people did go out, they often took servants along with them for protection and to carry lanterns or torches to light the way. Waste was dumped into open gutters. All in all, conditions were disgusting. This caused diseases to spread quickly through the crowded cities.
B Beginning in 1347, one such disease, a terrible plague, swept through Europe. The disease was called the Black Death because of the darkened color of its victims’ faces after they died. The plague began in Asia and spread along busy trade routes. Trading ships carried the disease west to the Mediterranean. From the Mediterranean ports, the disease spread throughout most of Europe. Rats on the ships carried the disease. Fleas from the rats spread the disease to people.
C Once people became infected, the disease could be spread from person to person. People became infected as they came in contact with the sick. According to Jean de Venette, a friar who lived at the time, young people were more likely to die than old people. Those who got sick lasted only two or three days and then died suddenly. This happened in such great numbers that often those who lived could not keep up with burying the dead. The friar wrote, “Someone who was healthy one day could be dead and buried the next. . . . A healthy person who visited the sick hardly ever escaped death.”
D No one knows the exact number of plague deaths in Europe. Some guess that about 25 million people died in Europe from 1347 to 1351. This was about one third of the entire population. The death rate varied from place to place. Towns seemed to be harder hit than the countryside. Some entire villages and towns were wiped out. The plague affected the rich as well as the poor. Even the great and powerful, including royalty, were struck down. Throughout Europe, populations were devastated by, as the Welsh called it, “death coming into our midst like black smoke.”
E The Black Death greatly affected Europe. Relations between the upper classes and lower classes changed. Workers, now in short supply, demanded higher wages. In several European countries, peasants staged uprisings. There were emotional effects as well. In some areas, the theme of death appeared in poetry, sculpture, and painting. People’s faith was shaken. The church lost some of its power and importance. The Black Death took a greater toll on human life than any war or illness before that time. It was perhaps the greatest tragedy in all of European history.

It is most likely that disease hit towns harder than the countryside because the towns—
a.
had no police
b.
had more rats
c.
were not lighted
d.
were more crowded

I got this of the internet and don't know if it is right but if it is can you mark me brainliest?

I think it may be: Showing mercy is better than revenge. Appearances can be deceiving

I'm not entirely sure, so sorry if it's wrong.

The excerpt of the story shows that being merciful is better than getting revengeful, and getting betrayed by others is painful. Thus, option B is correct.

A theme is the main context that relates to the story and can be the central idea around which the story is written that delivers the correct message that the writers wanted to portray.

'Jungle Book: Mowgli's Brothers,' written by Rudyard Kipling, is a short story. Mowgli is portrayed as merciful towards the others and does not revenge on those who hurt him also he feels pain when someone close to him betrayed him.

Therefore, option B. being merciful is more important than being revengeful.

because he did not stumble upon the invention just out of sheer luck.

Explanation:

In the lesson "Luck Favors the Prepared", Charles Goodyear's invention of vulcanized rubber is an example of both preparation and luck because he did not stumble upon the invention just out of sheer luck.

Goodyear had been experimenting endlessly with natural rubber in hopes to find a way to make the rubber more durable, elastic, or stretchy. He attempted many times and failed miserably before he accidently invented the vulcanized rubber. Had he not been preparing for it continuously, he wouldn't have stumbled on his luck.

Answer:

210 g margarine

180 g sugar

150 ml syrup

360 g. oats

75 g raisins

Explanation:

bc, you want to make 18 and the amount of each ingredients there can only make twelve you see how much out of the eighteen is left when you make twelve: 18-12=6. Half of six is twelve so you use half of each amount of ingredients to make your six flapjacks. So you would add the amount of ingredients to make 12 with the amount of ingredients to make six. You probably won't understand bc of how I explain it so here is the first one.

140 g margarine = 12 flapjacks

140 ÷ 2 or 1/2 = 70

70 g margarine 6 flapjacks

140 + 70 = 210

So you would use 210 g margarine to make 18 flapjacks.

The answers for each are at the top, I just only explain the margarine. Hope it helps. Use the formula that i use to see the working out for the rest of them. Leave a comment if you need me to explain more or the rest of them
