Explanation:

First Question:

To determine the benefit for Egyptians living along the Nile River and Nile Delta, we analyze each option:

• "Land is cheap there" is not a primary or well - known benefit related to the Nile's natural characteristics.
• "The pyramids are located there" is more about historical/archaeological sites and not a direct benefit of living there related to the Nile's impact on the land.
• "The land is fertile due to the flooding of the Nile" is correct. The annual flooding of the Nile deposits nutrient - rich silt, making the land very fertile for agriculture, which is a major benefit for people living there as it supports farming and food production.
• "It is home to many important religious sites" is about religious significance rather than a direct benefit of living along the Nile for most people (related to sustenance or livelihood).

To find why most Sub - Saharan African cities are near major rivers and coasts, we evaluate each option:

• "Cities were built there because of internal tribal wars" is not a valid reason as tribal wars would not lead to city - building near water bodies.
• "Cities needed access to bodies of water for trade" is a strong reason. Rivers and coasts provide access to waterways, which are crucial for trade (importing and exporting goods). This facilitates economic activities and the growth of cities.
• "The interior of the continent is filled with deserts and mountains" is not the main reason for city location near water for trade - related growth. The main driver is trade access via water.
• "The cities' leaders wanted them to be close to one another" is not a valid geographical or economic reason for city location near rivers and coasts.

Answer:

The land is fertile due to the flooding of the Nile.
