Question

complete the text with the correct word. evidence suggests that the early egyptians built the pyramids by using simple ramps and levers to ___ the massive stone blocks into place. raise rise submit

Explanation:

To determine the correct word, we analyze the context. "Raise" is a transitive verb meaning to lift or move something to a higher position, which fits here as the Egyptians are moving the stone blocks. "Rise" is intransitive, meaning to move upward on its own, and doesn't fit the structure (needs an object, the stone blocks). So "raise" is correct.
