Elizabethans do not understand infection and contagion as we do. It is not that they are completely ignorant as to how illnesses

spread—physicians believe they know perfectly well—it is rather that their understanding is very different from ours. The principal ideas underpinning most Elizabethan medical thinking come from Galen, who lived in the second century A.D. Physicians will cite him as an unquestionable authority when they explain to you that your health depends on a balance of the four humors: yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm, and blood. If there is too much choler in your body, you will grow choleric; too much blood and you will be sanguine; too much phlegm and you will be phlegmatic; and too much black bile makes you melancholic. It is from these imbalances that sickness arises.
How does the paragraph develop the central idea that Elizabethan beliefs influenced their understanding of disease?
A. It provides details about Galen’s medical training.
B. It compares modern and Elizabethan techniques
C. It details the belief that bodily humors affect health
D. It describes popular Elizabethan treatments.

C. It details the belief that bodily humors affect health.

The third alternative is correct (C).

The text explains that Elizabethans understand the infectious processes that affect human health, however, the understanding of the causes is that they are distinct. According to the text, for Elizabethans, infections occur through imbalances between body fluids. Consequently, their method of treatment is different.

If you really don't understand something, put it aside and wait until the test or the final exam true or false
Fiesta28 [93]
False. If you wait until the test or final exam you wouldn't have learned anything. If you ask someone for help or try to learn how to do something then you have a greater chance of learning something.
