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. The given speech is said by King Oedipus to the blind seer/ prophet Teiresias, asking his opinion and help to catch the murderer of Laios so as to end the suffering inflicted upon his people.

Thus, the <u>word "pestilence" means an epidemic that the gods had inflicted upon the people of Thebes. </u>

kkurt [141]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Due to the unfavourable conditions peasants are exposed to, they easily grasp the harsh realities of life such as death.
