Explanation:

Question 1

To determine which sentence supports the inference about preserving bodies after death, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about chariot parts, not related to body preservation.
• Option B: Mentions everyday objects in a chamber, not about body preservation.
• Option C: Describes a gold collar on a mummy, which is part of the mummification/preservation process as mummies are preserved bodies.
• Option D: Talks about internal organs in a shrine, which is part of the process of preserving the body (removing organs for preservation), but the mummy's collar (Option C) more directly shows the preservation of the body's appearance. Wait, no—removing organs (like in Option D) is part of the embalming process to preserve the body. However, the question is about the custom to preserve bodies after death. The shrine holding the organs (D) shows that they preserved the organs separately, which is part of the preservation process. But the collar on the mummy (C) shows the mummy (preserved body) with adornments. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - evaluate. The custom of preserving bodies after death—mummification. The shrine holding the internal organs (liver, lungs, etc.) (Option D) is part of the process where they removed the organs to preserve the body (since leaving organs in would cause decay). So Option D is about preserving the organs (part of the body - preservation custom). Option C is about a collar on the mummy, which is the preserved body. But the key is which sentence supports the inference. The shrine holding the organs (D) is a direct part of the body - preservation process (embalming, removing organs to preserve the body). So the correct answer is D.

We need to find the meaning of "suspended" in paragraph 4. Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: "floated" - If something is suspended by ropes, it might be held up, but "floated" implies being on water, which is not related to ropes.
• Option B: "swung" - If something is suspended by ropes, it can swing. Let's think about the context (even though we don't have the full paragraph, the Part B options have "by ropes"). So if it's suspended by ropes, it can swing.
• Option C: "carried" - Carried implies being moved by someone, not related to being suspended.
• Option D: "walted" - This is a misspelling or incorrect word, and it has nothing to do with suspended. So the correct answer is B.

To understand the meaning of "suspended", we look for a phrase that gives context.

• Option A: "Carter clears the annex out later" - This has nothing to do with "suspended".
• Option B: "...by ropes..." - If something is suspended by ropes, this phrase helps us understand that "suspended" means held up or swung by ropes.
• Option C: "...which they call the antechamber" - This is about naming a chamber, not about "suspended".
• Option D: "...a box containing eye makeup, and 116 baskets of food" - This is about the contents of a box, not related to "suspended". So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

D. "The shrine holds Tut's liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines."
