Read the passage from The American Plague.
No one would ever know precisely how many Philadelphians died of yellow fever in 1793. Many of those who traditionally kept such count—ministers, sextons, and city officials—had either fled the city or been ill themselves. The best estimates put the number of victims at between four and five thousand men, women, and children. What was clear to all was that life would never be the same. The fear had gone too deep, the losses were all too real and personal.
Which statement summarizes the central idea of this passage?

Ministers, sextons, and city officials should have stayed in the city.
The 1793 yellow fever epidemic was the deadliest plague the city had faced.

The yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city.

Explanation:

The main idea in this paragraph is that because of the fear and the many painful losses life in Philadelphia could not go back to be the same as before, which means that there were enduring outcomes for that city. Not having precise numbers of the losses provided by those who used to keep that kind of count, doesn´t mean they should have stayed. Actually, many did stay and died because of the yellow fever epidemic.
