Explanation:

• First question: The 1918 - 1919 influenza pandemic (also known as the Spanish flu) was a major global health event. Typhoid and cholera had significant outbreaks in earlier periods. Coronaviruses, such as the ones causing COVID - 19, are more recent (21st - century) concerns.
• Second question: The Red Scare was a period of intense fear of communist subversion in the United States. The Soviet Union was a communist country, and there was no worry about it succumbing to capitalism. Opposition to the death penalty and the Sacco and Vanzetti trial were separate issues not related to the core of the Red Scare, which was about communist revolution fears.

Answer:

• First question: influenza
• Second question: fear of a communist revolution within the United States
