How does the passage expand on the central idea "the
plague was the biggest killer in Elizabethan England"?
What can you do to avoid the plague? The answer is: very
little. Although there are no fewer than twenty-three
medical treatises dedicated to it by 1600, including
hundreds of recipes for medicines, none of them will help
you. Nor will perfuming your room and airing it with fire
save you-despite this being the official advice of the
College of Physicians.

Answer:

The correct answer is It explains that many people died because

medicines and medical practices were not effective.

Explanation:

This passage expands the central idea that the plague was the greatest killer in Elizabethan England, stating that it was almost impossible to avoid it, since there were very few medical treaties at the time, and even then the few that were, there were no useful. It also demonstrates the little help that was received from the College of Physicians, whose recommended practices were very ineffective.
