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.

Answer:
The correct pronoun to fill in the blank is:
From the first time they met, Walter and he never did get along well.
Explanation:
Both "him" and "he" can be used, but it will depend on whether or not we need a subject. Suppose we did not need a subject here. Then it would be okay to use "him": "I remember when I first met Walter and him."
However, that is not the case with the sentence we are completing in this exercise. "Walter" and "he" are both the subject of "never did get along". One way to test that out is by separating the subjects:
Walter never got along. OK
Him never got along. NOT OK
He never got along. OK
Thus, the sentence should be:
From the first time they met, Walter and he never did get along well.
