Pandora opened the jar and released

Pandora’s box myth shows that when Pandora opened the jar, all the evils that afflict humanity were released into the world. The description of what escaped matches diseases and troubles—sickness, pain, hardship, and the like. Joy and wealth aren’t the evils described as released, and hope is said to have remained inside the jar, not released. So the idea being tested is recognizing that the jar unleashed the negative things, making diseases and troubles the best fit.
