Answer 1

D) Slaves could work their way up in class.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Ancient Egypt, there was the possibility of social mobility. Slaves could work their way up in class, or farmers could learn to read and write and become scribes. This was not easy and it was not common, but it was possible.

Answer 2

Choice D is the true statement about ancient Egyptian history. Social mobility is not impossible because slaves that can read and write can become scribes, and therefore, can save up money for their families. They can move their way up by serving the government.
