Explanation:

I took the quiz and got it right. They did not have enough shovels so some had to use their hands and most got sick. They did not have very good treatment back then, so most who got sick died. When they would get sick they would still have to work. The sickness became worse as they worked they died. The sickness was passed to the other workers because they all worked so close to each other. I hope I helped!
