Question 10

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "excess" means an amount beyond what is necessary, not fitting the context of smallpox.
• "episode" refers to a single event or occurrence, but smallpox in the Middle Ages was a widespread outbreak, not a single episode.
• "embarrassment" is a feeling of self - consciousness, irrelevant to a disease.
• "epidemic" is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time, which fits the context of smallpox in the Middle Ages.
