Answer 1

A young man visited a small village in the jungles of Peru. He spoke to many people about starting a new school, but no one seemed interested. Then he noticed some small children with skin disease. He always carried a black bag of medical supplies. He selected an ointment he knew would clear up the infection.

Within the next few days, the medicine completely cured the children of the irritating disease.

The next time the young man began to tell the people about starting a new school, he noticed many gathered around to hear him, especially the children. They were all grateful for his help in curing the skin disease.

What was the effect of the medicine on the skin disease?

The skin got worse.
It cleared up the disease.
There was no effect.

Answer 2

From that passage, "Within the next few days, the medicine completely cured the children of the irritating disease."

So choice B, "It cleared up the disease" makes perfect sense.
