Explanation:

To support the statement, we need evidence showing ancient civilizations used force - related knowledge for massive objects. The part “Fantastic monuments like the pyramids in Egypt, the statues on Easter Island, and Stonehenge in England were built because our ancestors had developed an understanding of how to use forces to make work easier” directly links ancient civilizations (building these massive monuments) to their use of force - related knowledge. Other parts talk about general force recognition or modern uses, which don't focus on ancient massive object movement.

Answer:

Fantastic monuments like the pyramids in Egypt, the statues on Easter Island, and Stonehenge in England were built because our ancestors had developed an understanding of how to use forces to make work easier.
