Answer:

Epidemic.

Explanation:

<u>Pestilence is a fatal disease or infliction that is suffered in a large part of the land. </u>It is a type of plague that hurts, damaged, and even kills a large number of people.

In the given lines from scene I of Oedipus, The King, we see the people Thebes suffering a great pestilence which has wreaked havoc among them.

Will , be goingto or presenthe continues
zheka24 [161]

I Will be a famous actor.

We use "going to" when we talk about our intentions, that is, what we are trying to do. And use the present continuous to talk to others about agreements and promises. But many future events are both intentions and arrangements, so often both forms work.

The present tense is used to talk about arrangements for later events. Multiple people are aware of this event and there are already some signs of readiness. Example: I will meet Jim at the airport = Jim and I talked about it.

Famous actors and actresses from stage and film light up the world, from Hollywood to Broadway and beyond. Stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Angelina Jolie, and Charlie Chaplin shine a light on the human condition by bringing compelling characters to life.
