Question 22 • DAEP-English 7 A(20 Day Term)

Which excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter” shows the author’s view of the grave robbers?

Answer

These wicked people would strip the tombs bare of all valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a large amount of money.

They took precautions. Many had their pyramids constructed with twisting pathways and decoy chambers.

Other evidence showed that the main pathway to the tomb was filled in with rubble after the first robbery.

They even removed his body. Of course, this final raid was done in the name of science.

Explanation

Choice A shows the author’s negative view through the words “wicked people” and by describing the robbers stripping tombs of valuables to sell them. The other excerpts mainly state facts about tomb construction, evidence of a robbery, or a later raid without directly expressing the author’s judgment of the robbers.
