A. At least one-third of the people died.
B. People began to trust those of other races and religions better.
C. Eventually, demand for workers rose, lifting worker wages.
D. Many Europeans began to question God and their faith.

Answer 1

The Black Death did not promote trust among people of different races and religions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. People began to trust those of other races and religions better. During the Black Death, there was widespread fear and suspicion which led to increased discrimination against different races and religions. This was fueled by a belief that certain groups were responsible for spreading the disease. The Black Death actually exacerbated existing prejudices and divisions, rather than promoting trust and unity among different groups.
