Read the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter."

From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs' tombs
were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids
served as giant grave markers; however, they also
served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These
wicked people would strip the tombs bare of all
valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a
large amount of money, Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient Egyptians, the act also
threatened the pharaoh's afterlife.

Based on the details in the excerpt, what conclusion can
be drawn about the pharaohs of ancient Egypt?

They went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs
would not be robbed

They had little worry about their tombs being invaded
by grave robbers

They thought that giant grave markers would protect
them against grave robbers

They placed more emphasis on their current lives
than on their afterlives

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.

for the comment!

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
