inviting European industries to expand to Egypt.

Answer 1

The correct answers are:
- building a large army and expanding Egyptian territory.
- expanding farms and developing a range of new crops.

Explanation: Muhammad Ali modernized Egypt’s army on European lines and used it to seize territory (Sudan, Syria). He also reformed agriculture—expanded irrigation and promoted cash crops (especially cotton). He brought in European experts and technology, but he did not allow Britain to take control of the government.
