Read the following scenario, and then answer the question.Imagine you are a historian studying ancient Egypt. You are trying to determine why people settled there.Which type of map would you use to help you understand why people settled in Egypt first?

A physical map shows natural features such as rivers, deserts, and landforms. These features can help explain why people settled in Egypt, especially the Nile River, which provided water and fertile soil. A road map shows routes, a choropleth map uses shading to show data, and a political map shows boundaries, so the best choice is a physical map.
