"<span>Determine the cause of the distraction" sounds like the best answer.</span>
You can't aware the question without the text. I'll look up the story though for sure
I am pretty sure that in brooks' novel, the rector presents the plague as <span>a chance to save the souls of nonbelievers. I consider the third option as the correct one as author represented as if it will refine the villape people's souls.
Hope you will find it helpful!

If you read the book then the answer is Friar Lawrence in Act 2 Scene 5
the answer is B. Friar Lawrence
