Explanation:

The question in paragraph 4 about measuring time at night after the sun has set indicates a shift to a new - time measuring scenario. It implies that the Egyptians needed more than one way to measure time, as the methods used during the day (possibly discussed in paragraph 3) were not sufficient for nighttime. Option A is about moon - based time units which isn't related to the question's connection between paragraphs. Option C is about shadow clocks during the day which is not relevant to the night - time measurement question. Option D is too broad and not the main connection.

Answer:

B. It prepares the reader to understand that the Egyptians invented more than one way to measure time.
