Read th text about Tutankhamun. Are the sentences 6-10 Right or Wrong? If there is no enough information to answer "Right" or "Wrong" , choose " Doesn't say". Tutankhamun was probably born at Akhetaten which was the capital city of Egypt. He was born in about the year 1346 BC. He became pharaoh at the tender age of nine in 1337 BC and reigned during the 18th Dynasty when the Egyptian Empire was at its height. He reigned from about 1337 to 1328 BC. His tomb was discovered by a team of British archaeologists in 1922, nearly 3000 years after his death. The reason that Tutankhamun is so well known today is that his tomb, containing fabulous treasures, was found early this century (1922) by British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. The tomb of Egypt's boy-king Tutankhamun was discovered on November 4, 1922, by English archaeologist Howard Carter. Howard Carter was born in 1874 in Norfolk, England. His father named Samuel Carter was an artist who taught Howard Carter the fundamentals of drawing and painting. Several finds made in the Valley of the Kings over the years led Howard Carter to believe that the king was still somewhere in the Valley. Carter believed he found clues to Tutankhamun in the discoveries made by Theodore Davis. Davis had found a cup and other fragments bearing the name of Tutankhamen and his queen. He was buried in a hastily prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the traditional burial place of his predecessors. The person responsible for his burial, and shown on one of the walls in Tutankhamun's tomb, was Ay who succeeded him on the Egyptian throne.

Read the sentences about Ancient Egypt. Choose the best answer ( A, B or C) for each space. Ancient Egypt ... for more than 3000 years.
- A.
  
  Was
- B.
  
  Lasted
- C.
  
  Buried
Correct Answer
B. Lasted

Explanation
The correct answer is "lasted." This is because the word "lasted" indicates a duration of time, which fits with the statement that Ancient Egypt existed for more than 3000 years. The other options, "was" and "buried," do not convey the same meaning of a prolonged period of time.

The pharaohs were the rulers of Ancient Egypt. They were the highest authority in the land and held absolute power. They were considered divine beings and were responsible for governing the kingdom, maintaining order, and overseeing religious ceremonies.

When they died, people...them in the pyramids.
- A.
  
  Were digging
- B.
  
  Buried
- C.
  
  Built
Correct Answer
A. Were digging

Explanation
The correct answer is "were digging" because the sentence is referring to the action that people were doing when they died. The use of the past continuous tense "were digging" indicates that the action of digging was ongoing at the time of their death. This suggests that people were in the process of digging the pyramids as a burial place for themselves or others when they died.
