III. Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and
prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its
construction make it one of truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River is
a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the
burial chamber for the pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are
aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient
Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events-past, present and future. Many of the
events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for
the future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural
powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings if the

A. very strong workers B. astronomers in the ancient times
C. researchers in Egyptology D. living being from other planets

A. To keep grave robbers from finding the tomb and the treasure buried with the pharaoh.
B. To allow the weight of the pyramid to settle evenly.
C. To permit the high priests to pray at night.
D. To enable the pharaoh’s family to bring food for his journey to the afterlife.
