Answer 1

Hi!

Let's go through each answer.

a book of historical fiction about the Middle Ages
The key word here is fiction. That alone proves that this answer is wrong because Black Death is not fiction.

a medical textbook with a section devoted to modern diseases
Black Death is not a modern disease, so this answer is also wrong.

a documentary filmed by an expert on the Black Death
This would be a great way to learn about Black Death because it's an entire movie about it!

a history textbook with a chapter on life in the Middle Ages
This might give you some information about Black Death, but not much.

The correct answer is a documentary filmed by an expert on the Black Death.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

a documentary filmed by an expert on the Black Death is your answer

It is not "a book of historical fiction about the Middle Ages", because it is fictionous, and while it does follow history, not all of it is true. Also, Middle Ages encompasses a large amount of events, not just the Black Death.

It is not "a medical textbook with a section devoted to modern diseases", because the Black Death happened during the Middle Ages, and is not a modern disease.

It is not "a history textbook with a chapter on life in the Middle Ages", because it encompasses all daily life aspects, and may or may not include the years of the Black Death.

hope this helps
