How did the natural environment affect Egypt’s connection to other civilizations?

Answer
A
Egypt’s deserts left it isolated and cut off from contact with other civilizations.
B
Egypt’s location allowed for the trading of beliefs and ideas with other civilizations.
C
Egypt’s heavy rainfall produced surplus crops to feed growing cities and trade for foreign goods.
D
Egypt’s lack of access to the sea left it with a small population that was cut off from trade routes.

Explanation

Egypt’s location near the Mediterranean Sea and connected trade routes allowed Egyptians to interact with neighboring peoples. Through trade and contact, they exchanged goods as well as beliefs and ideas, so choice B is correct. Deserts could provide some protection, but they did not completely isolate Egypt.
