=1. Questions (I wonder...?)= I wonder how many people died from the Black Death? I wonder when did the Black Death die out?**

2. Inferences (I think that...because....)
I think that maybe around a million people died from the black death... I think that the Black Death hasn't entirely died out, but is mostly gone now...**
 * I think that maybe someone knew they had been bitten by a flea and because of that guessed the plague was from the flea.

ans. So after one human got the plague, it was able to be transmitted from human to human. The Black Death killed nearly half of Europe's population, and about 1/3 of Italy's population. The Black Death hasnt entirely died out, but is extremely hard to catch. So, be glad you didnt live during this time, or you might not be alive!
