Question

Construction of the Aswan High Dam

did not provide the Nubian people with the predicted agricultural benefits.
forced the Nubian people to relocate from their traditional homelands.
provided the Nubian people with water for their traditional homelands.
provided the Nubian people with electricity in their traditional villages.

I think it's A or B (more A though). But my mom says it's D.
This is the only thing my lesson said on the Aswan Dam: For example, people in the Nile River floodplain in Africa, before the Aswan High Dam was built, depended on the great river's annual floods. These floods left behind much silt that helped make the surrounding land fertile.

That's it! It says nothing about electricity but mom is helping me and reading up on it and she found that out. Please help??? Thanks!

Answer 1

I agree with you, Skating. Considering your text and the information in the link below, I believe that either A or B is correct. However, the excerpt from your text points toward A. Please check it again to see if it mentions the relocation of the Nubians.

Answer 2

Thank you, Ms. Sue.
Your link does not say that the Nubians move, they wish to, but it seems like they do not. I'm going to go with A, I'll reply back with the answer :)

Answer 3

Thanks.

Answer 4

It was actually B :/
I mean, I guess in the notes that it ~suggests~ that they moved but it was still unclear. But thank you anyway! :)

Answer 5

You're welcome. I'm sorry we got the wrong answer.
