Answer:
The statement which summarizes the central idea of this passage is:
A. The yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city.
Explanation:
The passage begins by saying the number of people who died of the fever were in the thousands - 4 or 5. That number may very well have been bigger but it was difficult to keep count at that time. Then it moves on to say that <u>one thing was clear to all, independently on how accurate that number was: that things would never be the same. The epidemic would have lasting consequences, then. The losses, the fear, all of it was "too real and personal". It would forever change people's lives.</u>
