The two correct answers are:

  1. as tombs - The pyramids were built primarily as tombs for pharaohs and important individuals in ancient Egypt, serving as grand burial sites intended to help them in the afterlife.

  2. as monuments to gods - The pyramids also served as monuments that honored the divine status of the pharaohs, who were considered intermediaries between the gods and the people.

The other options do not accurately reflect the primary reasons for the construction of the pyramids.
