Answer 1

im gonna say B

Answer 2

Of the 4 choices, the simple answer is "A". The loss of population kicked up the wages of laborers since there were less available. This led to higher prices of goods, and eventually to the Renaissance (and finally the Industrial Revolution much later) as people began inventing labor-saving machines since humanity in Europe was so depleted. "B" didn't really happen until the Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century, when what we would consider "modern" science had its beginnings. "C" hasn't happened to date. "D" probably have occurred to a certain extent since people would naturally been less secure in their lives, beliefs, and their environment.

Answer 3

none of the above. The Plague originating in the East, was the greatest divider of the human race between Secular and Religious thinking of it's time. What's clear is God lost great credibility when it couldn't be explained by the Religious elements. Added was the Pope was holed up in his castle and refused to 'see or help people' Sadly, many clergy did die trying to help. The very first real distinction of perhaps god doesn't exist.
It did help the economy BUT 'ole supply and demand' was not even a registered thought. The Malthusian reaction,however, was a great concern!

Answer 4

The answer is A, sanitation was never considered until around the 1860's. Think of supply and demand. Less demand in the job market for jobs and goods, thus, rising prices. Demand is inversely proportional to price.

Answer 5

A, definitely--the old law of supply and demand kicked in.

Since there were fewer workers, employers had to attract them with higher wages. Higher wages lead to higher prices (as always, the costs of doing business were passed on to the consumers).

Allegedly, there was also a marked increase of multiple births--twins and even triplets. Interesting, don't you think?

Answer 6

A.

With the sudden precipitous tightening in the labor supply, servants, cooks, butlers, grooms, gardeners and all other domestic help were suddenly able to auction their services to the highest bidder causing great competition and no small amount of consternation to break out among the nobles. This is sometimes thought of as the opening developement in a long series of changes which would finally lead to the overthrow of the ruling European aristocracies, and the introduction of more egalitarian principles in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Answer 7

None of the above.
Between 1666 and 1667. Isaac Newton created the laws of gravitation and optics and modern calculus.
(The apple fell on his head when he hid from the black death when Trinity College closed because of it).
Otherwise, higher prices and wages simply because there were less people and less food for correspondingly higher prices.

Answer 8

a. higher prices and wages

Answer 9

I didn't know it was multiple choice. I was going to say death, but now I guess I'll just choose B, and E to if that's ok.
