Answer 1

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A phrase that explains why.

Step-by-step explanation:

A phrase that explains why would be very helpful because the claim that you have is really just stating your opinion so you need to have at least 3 facts to support your opinion.

• You already have a phrase that states you opinion.
• The sentence that repeats the claim would come at the end of the essay.

And a sentence that argues against the claim would only be useful if you we disagreeing with the claim and trying to prove that Ramses II was NOT the most influential Pharaoh.
