1. c. He states that it spread from the Middle East.

Boccaccio states that the plague "had broken out some years before in the Levant (Middle East) and, after passing from place to place, and making incredible havoc all the way, had now reached the west." This shows that he is aware of the plague's origin and of the way it followed to get to the west. However, there is no indication that he knows by what mechanism it travelled.

2. c. He would find their actions appropriate because he believed human sin may have caused the plague.

Boccaccio does not actually state that he believes the plague was caused by human sin. However, he does think that is a possible explanation (another one would be the influence of the planets). Therefore, it is likely he would have judged the flagellants as prudent and appropriate.

Reil [10]

Answer:

D) Meat Inspection Act in 1906.

Explanation:

Upton Sinclair's book <em>The Jungle</em> was a fictional book about the experience of immigrants working in the meatpacking industry in Chicago. Even though this book was fictional, many of the details about working conditions and the unsanitary ways of the meatpacking industry were factualy. This book outlined the lack of cleanliness and disgusting habits of the meatpacking industry, including rats within some of the meat they sold to the American public.

This book caused outrage amongst American citizens. President Teddy Roosevelt responded to this book and its content by passing the Meat Inspection Act. This resulted in government regulation of this industry and a set of sanitary standards that busineses must meet.
