Answer:
Explanation:
Wood engraving by Gustave Dore (1832-1883) taken from 'London: a Pilgrimage', published by Grant & Co in 1872. Behind the group of exhausted-looking workers in the foreground, others can be seen stoking the fires beneath the gas retorts, sealed vessels where, at high temperatures, the coal was broken down into tar, coke and gas. From the 19th century, manufactured gas was made by the distillation of coal, predominantly for use in lighting. In 1869, the writer Blanchard Jerrold suggested a collaboration with Dore on a comprehensive portrait of London.

The correct answer is "Parents refused to care for their dying children".
The situation to which the narrator is referring to as "even worse, and almost incredible" during the plage, is that parents were abandoning their suffering children. <u>This is what he found to be the most poignant and striking image that conveyed the extent of the horrors brought by the plague</u>. Mothers and fathers refused to care for their dying children or even visit them in innumerable cases.
Hope this helps!
