ANS:
A
In classical times, large cities grew, and elaborate drainage systems were
constructed. In Leviticus, the Hebrews formulated the first hygiene code. This
hygiene code protected water and food by creating laws that governed personal
and community hygiene, such as contagion, disinfection, and sanitation. This is
best described through the building of safe sewage disposal systems. Healthy
food choices and exercise, praying to the gods for preservation, and the use of
medicine and other herbal measures were not among the first measures used by
large communities to ensure health.

are called epidemic. Pandemic is used to describe the existence of a disease in a
large proportion of the population. Prevalent means widespread, and would not
be the best term to describe this disease.
