Answer 1

To answer the question about which detail from the first text is clarified further in the second text, we would need to compare the details provided in both passages closely.

The detail "His plea was far more than aesthetic; it was a matter of life and death and helped to prevent a deadly malady known as 'childbed' or puerperal (from the Latin words for child and parent) fever" from Passage 1 likely corresponds to a point in Passage 2 that elaborates on the significance of Dr. Semmelweis's plea concerning puerperal fever and its impact on maternal health.

Therefore, the correct response would be related to the clarification of Semmelweis's plea about preventing childbed fever.
