Question 7 • 2026_SUMMER 305_CR_2109010-M/J World History A

How did ancient Egyptians respond to the religious reforms, or changes, of Akhenaton?

Answer
A
They accepted the belief in Aten as the only god.
B
They mostly rejected the worship of only one god.
C
They attempted to persuade Akhenaton to worship many gods.
D
They expelled any Egyptian who refused to follow the new religious practices.

Explanation

Akhenaton tried to replace Egypt’s traditional many-god religion with the worship of Aten alone. Most Egyptians resisted the change and continued to favor their traditional gods, so they mostly rejected worship of only one god. The correct choice is B, “They mostly rejected the worship of only one god.”
