Question 2 (Worth 5 points)

Use the following excerpt from Boccaccio's The Decameron to answer the following question:

In the year of our Lord 1348, there happened at Florence, the finest city in all Italy a most terrible plague; which, whether owing to the influence of the planets, or that it was sent from God as a just punishment for our sins, 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…

[The plague] occasioned various fears and devices amongst those who survived, all tending to the same uncharitable and cruel end; which was, to avoid the sick and everything that had been near them, expecting by that means to save themselves. Some [held] it best to live temperately and to avoid excesses of all kinds…and…they shut themselves up from the rest of the world…Others maintained free living to be a better preservative and would balk no passion or appetite they wished to gratify, drinking and reveling incessantly from tavern to tavern…yet strenuously avoiding, with all this brutal indulgence, to come near the infected.— Public Domain

Based on the passage, how would Boccaccio likely feel about the actions of the flagellants, who warned Christians to repent?

He would find their actions sinful because they accused God.

He would find their actions appropriate because the Church was corrupt.

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

He would find their actions inappropriate because he was certain the planets caused the plague.

A global map shows the number of confirmed cases of H1N1 flu in 2009. The key has six shades. The lightest shade equals one or more confirmed case. The second darkest shade equals five or more confirmed cases. The third darkest shade equals 50 or more confirmed cases. The fourth darkest shade equals 500 or more confirmed cases. The fifth darkest shade equals 5,000 or more confirmed cases, and the sixth darkest shade equals 50,000 or more confirmed cases. Most of the African countries had 50 or less confirmed cases, with the exception being the North African and southeastern coastal areas. All of North America except Greenland, most of South America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific countries have between 500 and 50,000 confirmed cases.

Use the map on world life expectancy to answer the following question:

A global map shows average life expectancies in 2010. The key shows a range from 40 years to 80 years. All of Sub Saharan Africa has a life expectancy of sixty years or less, as do Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and some countries in Southeast Asia. North African and Middle Eastern life expectancies mostly fall between 70 to 75 years, while virtually all of South, East, and Southeast Asian as well as Eastern Europe and Russia have life expectancies of 65 to 75 years. This excludes Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, which have life expectancies of over eighty years. Most Western European countries also have life expectancies of 80 years. All North American countries except Greenland have a life expectancy of at least 75 years, while most of Central and South America has a life expectancy between 65 and 75 years.
