Article - ‘How the Nile River Led to Civilization in Ancient Egypt’

Which of the following selections from the article is BEST reflected in the map?


1. None of the achievements of this remarkable civilization would have been possible without the Nile River. There is always a connection between
landscape and how the people living there develop.

2. In 3000 B.C., Egypt looked similar geographically to the way it does today. The country was mostly covered by desert. But along the Nile River
was a swath of fertile land. This proved- and still proves- a life source for many Egyptians.

3. The Nile is the longest river in the world. It flows northward for nearly 4,200 miles. In ancient times, crops could be grown only along a narrow, 12-mile stretch of land that borders the river.

4. Outside of the narrow band of greenery next to the river, there is sand as far as the eye can see. To the Nile's west stretches the Sahara, the largest desert in the world. East of the Nile are other dry lands.
