Question

Based on the Egyptian Social Pyramid, which statement below is true?

Scribes protected the kingdom from invasion.


Merchants made up a large portion of the pharaoh's police force.


If a boy didn't want the same job as his father, he could go to scribe school.


Farmers, servants, and slaves made up 20% of the population.

Answer 1

Third Option

Explanation:

Lets use process of elimination to find the answer to this question. It's not the first option because a scribes job was mainly in the government district as writers/record keepers meaning they don't really protect the kingdom from invasion. It's not the second options because Merchants were traders, meaning they don't make up the Pharaohs police force because all they do is sell goods to Egyptians. Then it's not fourth option because farmers, servants, and slaves make up way more then 20% of ancient Egypt. Leaving the third option meaning it's your answer.

Hope this helps.
