Explanation:

Question 1

To determine why mummies were made, we analyze each option. Option A describes the process (wrapping) not the purpose. Option C focuses on linen use, not the reason for mummification. Option B aligns with Egyptian beliefs about preserving the body for the afterlife, which is the primary purpose of mummification.

For the burial difference between rich and poor Egyptians: Option A is incorrect as there were differences. Option B is wrong (rich were more likely mummified). Option C is partially true but incomplete. Option D accurately states that poor Egyptians were buried in sand (which could naturally mummify) while rich were buried in tombs with proper mummification, reflecting the economic and social differences in burial practices.

Answer:

B. to preserve bodies for the afterlife
