Explanation:

1. Option G shows a unique spread - pattern of yellow fever (one person in a household getting sick while others don't), differentiating it from other communicable diseases.
2. “theories” is the correct plural form without an apostrophe as it is not possessive here.
3. “the disease was” makes the most sense as it refers to yellow fever infecting soldiers.
4. “an alarming” emphasizes the rapid rate of infection better than the other options.
5. “experiments. (which helped his cause)” is the correct punctuation to separate the main clause and the non - essential relative clause.
6. “had been worn” is the correct past perfect passive tense to describe the clothing that was worn before the experiment.
