Historical Research and Study: The Black Death

Question 2 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

How do modern methods help historians investigate the Black Death?

Answer
A
Modern methods allow historians to throw out old records that were incorrect.
B
Modern methods allow the publishing of findings to reach other investigators.
C
Modern methods allow the testing of victims’ bodies using new technology.
D
Modern methods can prevent the plague from ever happening again.

Explanation

Modern scientific tools let historians and researchers examine remains from people who died during the Black Death. For example, they can test victims’ teeth or bones for traces of the plague bacterium, helping investigate the disease’s cause and spread. This makes “testing of victims’ bodies using new technology” the best answer; modern methods cannot guarantee that plague will never happen again.
