Question

the hyksos, as an invading force, brought advanced bronze weaponry to egypt at the end of the middle kingdom. how did the pharaohs of the new kingdom adopt this technology to the empire’s advantage? they sold the technology to allies to fund construction. they used the technology in conquests to expand the empire. they used the technology to facilitate trade. they traded the technology for goods such as wood and gold.

Explanation:

The Hyksos introduced advanced bronze weaponry to Egypt. The New Kingdom pharaohs would use such military technology in conquests to expand the Egyptian empire. Option A is incorrect as selling technology to allies for construction funding is not related. Option C is about trade facilitation, not the main use of military tech. Option D is about trading tech for goods, which is not the primary advantage - using it for conquest (to expand the empire) is the key, matching Option B.

Answer:

B. They used the technology in conquests to expand the empire.
