The correct answers are:
B) it was built at a later date C) it is a step pyramid D) it was built during the Old Kingdom
To clarify:
- It’s larger: This is incorrect; the pyramids at Giza, especially the Great Pyramid of Khufu, are larger than the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.
- It was built at a later date: This can be seen as incorrect as the Step Pyramid of Djoser was built during the 27th century BC, while the pyramids at Giza were built later during the 26th century BC.
- It is a step pyramid: This is correct; the Pyramid of Djoser is a step pyramid, whereas the pyramids at Giza are smooth-sided.
- It was built during the Old Kingdom: This is also correct; both the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara and the pyramids at Giza were constructed during the Old Kingdom, but the Giza pyramids came later.
So the most accurate choices would be C and D.
