Adriana Costa · Answer 2

A. The plague was unavoidable, and unpredictable in regards to whom it would affect.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England," the plague is not able to be avoided or prevented. The reason is that it is so widespread in London that it is inevitable and it can affect anyone. For instance, some houses can be infected while the houses next door are not, and some people do not catch the plague even when sharing the house with infected people.
