    People most commonly wrote on papyrus during this time. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During this time, people commonly wrote on papyrus. Papyrus was a material made from the pith of the papyrus plant, which grew abundantly in ancient Egypt. It was used as a writing surface because it was lightweight, flexible, and durable. The Egyptians developed a system of writing called hieroglyphics, and papyrus was the preferred medium for recording important documents, religious texts, and literature. It was widely used during this time period, making the statement "True" accurate.

    Christian letters reflected puns in the thanksgiving section.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The pun can be found in the introductory salutations of Christian letters, in which "grace" was used instead of "greetings." Because in Greek they look and sound alike (chaire and charis) historians believe this to be a play on words (Powell 220).
