Plz plz plz read the excerpt from "egyptian tombs: a grave matter.” the pharaohs were aware of these crimes, so they took precautions. many had their pyramids constructed with twisting pathways and decoy chambers. only one secret passage led to the real tomb, and that was sealed off with huge granite blocks. often guards were employed as well. severe punishment awaited thieves who were caught, since the egyptians considered grave robbery an outrageous crime. none of the pharaohs’ precautions stopped the thieves, however. eventually, they realized that they needed a new place for burial—a place that would protect their bodies and treasure for all of eternity. they found it in the valley of the kings, a barren area that was difficult to travel to. the pharaohs began putting underground tombs there in the sixteenth century bce. based on the sequence of events in the excerpt, which sentence best states a cause-and-effect relationship? a. because so many graves were robbed, grave-robbing was considered a terrible crime. b. because none of the precautions they took were effective, the pharaohs found a new burial ground in the valley of the kings. c. because the graves were so heavily protected, there were very few instances of grave robberies in ancient times. d. because there was only one way to enter most burial chambers, grave robbers were often stopped.

b. Because none of the precautions they took were effective, the pharaohs found a new burial ground in the Valley of the Kings.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter,” the cause-effect relationship is illustrated in the fact that pharaohs understood their burial places were in danger of thieves, so they decided protect their tombs and treasures in the Valley of the Kings, whose location was much harder for thieves to break in.

answer: swag on me

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
