To what world historical event does Boccaccio allude in the following line from his Decameron: "Gathering in those houses where no one had been ill and living was more comfortable, they shut themselves in."(A) the Black Death(B) the Hundred Years War(C) the Great Schism(D) the fall of Rome

Black Death

Explanation:

Giovanni Boccaccio was an Italian writer who wrote The Decameron (story of seven men and three women who flee from their city so as to save themselves from the epidemic). The story is referred to the Black Death of 1348 which Boccaccio witnessed himself in the city of Florence, Italy.  

The given lines: "Gathering in those houses where no one had been ill and living was more comfortable, they shut themselves in" alludes to the tragic event that shook the middle historic period i.e The Black Death unleashing a rampage of death ever recorded in history of Europe with over 50% of population falling prey to it.

Thus, Boccaccio's Decameron wonderfully portrays a story revolving around the ongoing crisis in Europe during his time.

the french revolution main idea was to give power to the people. the revolution was influenced by the enlightenment ideas, reasoning and skepticism pushed people to revolt against standards and norms in french society.

the problem was that the revolution caused political turmoil, and napoleon saw this as an opportunity and launched a coup d’état in november 1799. he became the first consul of france and later named french emperor.

some people see napoleon as a hero of the revolution and others see him as a traitor.

people see him as a traitor because he noticed the political turmoil and used this moment to rise to power. others see him as a hero of the revolution because he had some political and military achievements - in which he was committed to promoting the achievements of the french revolution - he had extensive public constructions, made a civil reform.

in a bigger picture, napoleon had some huge achievements in france which made him very important, but the fact that he seized power to himself makes him an undeniable traitor to the revolution since the main idea of it was to remove people from power and give power to the people.
