Friar John:Going to find a barefoot brother out,One of our order,to associate me, Here in this city visiting the sick, and finding him,the searches of the town, Suspecting that we both were in a house where the infectious pestilence did reign,Seal'd up the doors,and would not let us forth;So that my speed to mantua there was stay'd.
A.Danger
B.Enemy
C.Plague
D.Thoughts

I think the answer is C. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

C is right.

Hi ya

What test y’all taking

by the way c. plague is correct just incase anyone needed to be sure

You are correct! The answer is indeed C. Plague. In this context, the word "pestilence" refers to a contagious and deadly disease, specifically the plague. Friar John explains that he and another brother were suspected of being in a house where the infectious disease was present, causing the doors to be sealed shut and preventing their departure. This prevented Friar John from reaching Mantua in a timely manner. Good job on choosing the correct answer!
