Answer:
B. harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.
Explanation:
Before Joseph Lister was inspired by Pasteur's germ theory to perform sterile operations, doctors harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.
This was because doctors didn't do enough to prevent the spread of bacteria through surgical equipment and in the end they ended up causing more problems for their patients than the help they gave.
Prior to Joseph Lister's sterilisation which was influenced by Pasteur's germ theory, surgeons were unhygienic and didn't wash their hands or change their clothing before surgery which made infections after surgery widespread.

The correct answers should be C, B, and B. I hope these are correct for you. In paragraph 3 it says " 100 years later the Negro live on a lonely island". this means the answer is C for the first one. The second one is B because when he says chains of discrimination he does not mean their actually held by chains. This means B is the answer for the second one. In paragraph 8 it says that "The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty". This means B is the correct answer for the third one. Hope this helped.
