PART A: Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text? A)Scientists continue to study the plague’s spread through Europe in the 14th century because they can’t understand how it spread so aggressively.
B)Upper-class people lost their influence over lower classes of people as it became clear that even they would not be spared from the plague.
C)The plague modernized health and medicine in Europe as people realized that doctors were unintentionally spreading the plague rather than treating it.
D)While the plague was devastating to Europe’s population, it also reshaped their social order to allow for greater equality.

PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A)“Common medicinal practices of the time period, like bloodletting, would have also contributed to the spread of the disease. For example, high standards of hygiene were not practiced; physicians didn’t even wash their hands.”
B)“Many lost faith in the Catholic Church as people continued to die from the plague. Some converted to Protestantism, while others became more interested in secular ideas about the world.”
C)“Scientists and historians today still study the Black Death. They continue to develop vaccines, but with our current knowledge of bacteria, it is no longer the threat it once was.”
D)“The plague upended traditional structures like religion and feudalism that were once the cornerstones of medieval life. It redirected the path of European history, propelling it towards the modern age, though at the cost of millions of lives.”

for the points : )

explanation:

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!

c. extended rights of citizenship to new groups

the correct answer is: the sioux followed the order and remained on the reservation.

after many confrontations between native americans and white american, in 1868, a reservation for the lakota sioux tribe was established in dakota territory, in this reservation they were able to hunt ad to move freely. in 1874, many sioux followed the order, given by the federal government, of remaining on the reservation in which they were already living. the problem arose when, in 1874, gold was found in that area by lieutenant george armstrong custer's military troops, and lieutenant custer insisted that the sioux must give up their reservation land in the black hill of the dakotas.

the united states government opted for moving the sioux to a new reservation. siting bull, leader of the lakota sioux, protested the united states government's demands for the lands where the lieutenant custer's soldiers found the gold. but finally they left the reservation lands and went to a camp along the little bighorn river in 1876.
