Yes. 8 is correct.
What will you say about #6?
What event led to Great Britain's renewed interest in Egypt in the late 1800s?
Does anyone know the answer to this
Which of the following is NOT true about the Nile River
A.It is the longest river in the world.
B. It flows south.
C. It flows through several countries.
D. It is fed by two main tributaries.
Omg I’m stuck on that one too
To determine which statement in question 6 is NOT true, let's evaluate each option:
a. The Nile River is a major transportation route across southern Africa. This statement is not true because the Nile River is primarily located in northeastern Africa and is not a transportation route across southern Africa.
b. The central plateau produces many cataracts in African rivers. This statement is true because the central plateau in Africa does produce cataracts in rivers.
c. Africa's rivers can be used for hydroelectric power. This statement is true because many of Africa's rivers, including the Nile, Congo, and Zambezi, are utilized for hydroelectric power generation.
d. Because of terrain, some African rivers are not navigable. This statement is true because due to various factors such as rapids, waterfalls, and dense vegetation, not all African rivers are navigable.
Therefore, the statement that is NOT true in question 6 is option a. "The Nile River is a major transportation route across southern Africa."
As for question 8, the event that led to Great Britain's renewed interest in Egypt in the late 1800s was the opening of the Suez Canal (option a). The Suez Canal, which was completed in 1869, provided a direct route for shipping and trade between Europe and Asia, and Britain, as a major colonial power, recognized the strategic and economic importance of controlling this canal.
So, your answer for question 8 is correct as option a. "the opening of the Suez Canal."
