Based on the social structure of Ancient Egypt, here are the answers to your questions:
Question 1: Which social class had the most people?
Correct Answer: Farmers and Slaves
Explanation: In Ancient Egypt, the majority of the population were engaged in agriculture, making farmers the largest social class. Additionally, many slaves were involved in agricultural and labor work, further increasing the numbers in this category. Craftsmen and merchants had fewer individuals compared to farmers and slaves.
Question 2: Choose the social classes most likely to read and write.
Correct Answer: Pharaoh, Government Officials, Nobles, Priests, Scribes
Explanation: Reading and writing were primarily skills associated with the upper social classes in Ancient Egypt. The Pharaoh and those in government positions (government officials, nobles, and priests) were educated and had the ability to read and write, as they needed to manage administration and religious practices. Scribes were specifically trained to write and maintained records, making them central to literacy in Ancient Egypt. Other classes, such as craftsmen, merchants, soldiers, and farmers/slaves, typically did not have access to education in reading and writing.
