Question

There is no concept of "health and safety" in Elizabethan England, so you will inevitably feel vulnerable when you arrive. Nauseating smells and sights will assail your senses; contemporary standards of cleanliness will worry you. People die every day from unknown ailments, the young as often as the old. Infectious diseases periodically kill thousands within a few weeks. Even when plague is not in town, it lurks as an anxiety in the back of people’s minds and, when it does strike, their worry turns to terror. On top of the illnesses, the chances of being attacked and hurt are much higher than in the modern world, and workplace injuries are far more common.

What is the topic of this paragraph?

health and safety in Elizabethan England
health and safety in modern England
symptoms of the plague

Answer 2

The correct option is this: HEALTH AND SAFETY IN ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND.
The passage above talks about the pathetic health situation that was in place during the Elizabethan period. Infectious diseases were rampant and they kill huge amount of people in just few weeks. Apart from that people can easily lose their lives as a result of attacks or they can get work injuries. Nowadays, health and safety are much more taken care of and are better than that of Elizabethan era.
