Pretest: Realizing Dreams
Select the correct text in the passage.
Read this advertisement for a presentation on the ancient Egyptians.
Which sentence best expresses the central idea of the passage?
adapted from In Their Own Words: The Ancient Egyptians
For many, Egypt inspires thoughts of pyramids, tombs, and temples, grandiose displays of elite power. Egyptian civilization may seem too
distant to relate to modern circumstances, but universal themes of love and strife found in Egyptian writings show a world not dissimilar from
our own. How can I go on when my world has been turned upside down? Should I disobey my parents? What profession should I choose?
These questions are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. This presentation explores these familiar struggles as documented
in Egyptian literature, including love songs, legal documents, and the first recorded labor strike.
