Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.43 The Black Death and Demographic Change skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A historian must explain the Black Death in one evidence-based paragraph. Which thesis best fits the standard?

AThe pandemic was only a European religious event with no demographic or economic effects.

BThe pandemic increased population, lowered wages through labor abundance, and ended trade before it began.

CThe pandemic can be explained without routes, sources, labor evidence, or social context.

DThe pandemic spread through Afro-Eurasian networks, reduced population, strained labor systems, and produced social and economic change.

Solution & Explanation:The thesis connects all required parts: disease spread, trade networks, population change, labor systems, social response, and economic consequence.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which statement best qualifies the claim that the Black Death ended the medieval economy?

AIt is fully correct because all medieval institutions vanished in one year.

BIt is wrong because the Black Death had no effect on labor or markets.

CIt accelerated labor and social changes, but many agricultural, commercial, and religious institutions continued.

DIt is correct only for cities, because rural areas had no population losses.

Solution & Explanation:The Black Death was transformative, but not a total break. Many institutions continued while adapting to demographic and economic pressure.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the estate complaint and wage table. Which explanation best uses both pieces of evidence?

AThe evidence shows that workers became abundant and wages collapsed after plague.

BWorker scarcity turned demographic loss into wage pressure and conflict.

CThe complaint proves that landlords had no reason to care about labor costs.

DThe wage table shows social harmony with no conflict over labor terms.

Solution & Explanation:The complaint reveals conflict, while the wage table shows rising labor costs. Together they connect mortality to economic pressure and social tension.
