Answer 1

The most accurate choice regarding how slavery in Ancient Egypt differed from slavery in the United States is:

A. Egyptians slaves had certain freedoms.

In Ancient Egypt, slaves might have had some rights and could engage in various occupations, sometimes even earning their freedom, while slavery in the United States was more rigid and dehumanizing, with no rights and more severe restrictions. The other options do not accurately represent the characteristics of slavery in Ancient Egypt compared to the United States.
