Read the following passage from “The Legend of Ra and Isis”.

Then Isis said to Rā, "Among all the things which thou hast named to me thou hast not named thy name. Tell me thy name, and the poison shall come forth from thee." Rā still hesitated, but the poison was burning in his blood, and the heat thereof was stronger than that of a fierce fire. At length he said, "Isis shall search me through, and my name shall come forth from my body and pass into hers."
Based on the above passage, which conclusion might a reader draw about Ancient Egyptian beliefs?

The power of the gods rested in their names.
The god Ra was married to the goddess Isis.
The Egyptians worshipped both Ra and Isis and supreme gods.
Ra and Isis were two sides of the same deity.
