Answer 1

Answer: A) The church was believed to be a destabilized  political institution prior to the Black Plague, but its  authority eventually strengthened because of the  terrorizing practices it adopted during this pandemic.

Explanation:

Prior to the Black Death, the church had been losing influence and was believed to be a destabilized political institution. However, with the Black Plague gaining momentum, many turned to the church as they believed the plague was a punishment from God.

The Church therefore gained much power and influence during the pandemic to the extent of controlling inter-city movements. People had to do what the church said or they felt they would either die or die and not make it into heaven.
