Question

People hastened to get themselves vaccinated because ________.

• A. many doctors supported Jenner's claims
• B. fear of the terrible disease drove them to take the risk of vaccination
• C. supplies of pure vaccine had now become available
• D. the practice of vaccinating had spread all over the world

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

fear of the terrible disease drove them to take the risk of vaccination

Option B is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'They declared vaccination to be a dangerous practice.

But the dread of smallpox was in everybody's heart, and people flocked to Jenner to be vaccinated.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, C, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
