Question 20 • World History and Geography

What is one similarity between the famine and plague of the 1300s?

Answer
A
Both were caused by social unrest.
B
Both lowered the population of Europe.
C
Both lowered food supplies in Europe.
D
Both were caused by weather changes.

Explanation

Both the famine and the plague killed many people, so each contributed to a decline in Europe’s population. The famine was tied to poor harvests and food shortages, while the plague was a disease, so they did not share the same cause or both directly reduce food supplies.
