I think the answer is A but I'm not sure
so whats the answer Ms. Sue
I think the answer is b.
I thought the old kingdom was not that old.
I think yes, pictographic
You're right, as usual, Damon. The Old Kingdom started about 2700 B.C.
Thanks.
To determine the accuracy of the summary, let's examine each part separately:
1) "Egypt’s recorded history began around 10,000 BC with the Old Kingdom."
The statement suggests that Egypt's recorded history started around 10,000 BC with the Old Kingdom. This is generally accepted as accurate, as the Old Kingdom of Egypt is believed to have existed from approximately 2686 to 2181 BC.
2) "Egyptians had developed a means of writing called hieroglyphics."
Hieroglyphics were indeed a form of writing used by ancient Egyptians. This statement is accurate.
3) "Hieroglyphics used pictographs to convey meaning."
This statement is also accurate. Hieroglyphics included both ideograms (symbols representing ideas) and pictograms (actual pictures representing objects or concepts).
Considering each part individually:
- Part (1) is accurate.
- Part (2) is accurate.
- Part (3) is accurate.
Based on this analysis, the answer is not A. It is not necessary to revise any parts of the summary since all parts are factually accurate. Therefore, the correct answer must be either B, C, or D.
Reviewing the remaining choices:
- B) While parts (2) and (3) are accurate, part (1) needs revision.
- C) While parts (1) and (2) are accurate, part (3) needs revision.
- D) While part (3) is accurate, parts (1) and (2) need revision.
From our analysis, both parts (1) and (2) are accurate, so choice C can be eliminated. Concerning part (3), based on our evaluation, it is accurate. Therefore, choice D can also be eliminated.
This leaves the correct answer as B) While parts (2) and (3) are accurate, part (1) needs revision.
I disagree.
Did hieroglyphics use pictographs?
