How did the Black Death effect Catholics

Before the Black Death hit Europe, almost all things, especially elements of daily life, were under the influence of the church. In medieval times, even boiling an egg took “the time to say a prayer”. But the most important thing was that the church had always told people right from wrong. Since the afterlife was judged more important than the actual lifetime, it was considered essential to be given the last rites and to confess sins before dieing to be sure of salvation.

When the plague arrived, people believed it to be a punishment of God. Therefore, they often turned to the Church for help. But since the priests and bishops could not actually offer a cure or even an explanation, the Catholic Church lost a lot of its influence and for many people, their view of the world changed drastically.

The fossil in the picture is a trilobite that lived about 500 MYA. So, the age of the rock in the picture is ___ million years o

Artyom0805 [142]

Despite not providing the picture, there is enough information in the question to understand that the correct answer is alternative A) "At least 500 Million Years"

If the fossilized being lived around 500 million years ago, it means that the rock must be at least about that age.

Alternatives B and C are inconclusive, since the rock might have formed before, and with the information presented it's impossible to tell it's exact age. We can only tell that it's at least 500 million years old because of the fossil of a specimen that lived about 500 million years ago.
