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.

The statement which summarizes the central idea of this passage is:

A. The yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city.

Explanation:

The passage begins by saying the number of people who died of the fever were in the thousands - 4 or 5. That number may very well have been bigger but it was difficult to keep count at that time. Then it moves on to say that one thing was clear to all, independently on how accurate that number was: that things would never be the same. The epidemic would have lasting consequences, then. The losses, the fear, all of it was "too real and personal". It would forever change people's lives.
