Answer 1

The best choice to fill in the blank line in Randy's outline is:

B. offered animal sacrifices to the gods

This choice fits appropriately under the section on religion, as it relates to the types of practices that ancient Egyptians engaged in to honor their gods. The other options do not align as well with the topics already discussed in the outline.
