Answer 1

hey mate.
here is the answer.
(1) French rebuilt Hanoi to make it a modern city on French lines.
(2) the French part of hanoi was beautiful and clean whereas native quarter was not provided any modern facilities.
(3) rats were most common in the modern, newly built areas of Hanoi because the modern and apparently hygienic sewage system provided ideal breeding grounds for rodents apart from being a good transport system for rodents as well as for rats.
(4) sewage from the old city was drained out into the river or overflowed in the streets during heavy rains.
(5) the large rivers now became a protected breeding and living space for rats.
(6) Hanoi, despite its "modernity" became the chief cause of plague in 1903.

Answer 2

The modern part of Hanoi struck by bubonic plague in 1903

Explanation:

• The French pursued to establish a modem in Vietnam & agreed to renovate Hanoi. The latest ideas about architecture and modern engineering skills were employed to create a new and 'modem' city.

• (i) However, in 1903, the modern part of Hanoi was hit by the bubonic plague.

• (ii) The French side had extensive avenues and a well-planned sewer system, while the native quarter had no modern facilities. Thus, the waste of the old city flows directly into the river or on the streets during heavy rains or floods which becomes the cause of the plague.
