Question

even the pharaohs, or kings, were anxious about what happened to them after they died. they wanted to bring their favorite things with them, and they believed that in order for their soul to exist in an afterlife, their bodies must be preserved. thus mummification was invented. they removed the internal organs and placed them in specially decorated urns called canopic jars, dried the body with special salts and oils and wrapped it with linens. and they did a good job of it: some mummies were still whole when archaeologists opened their tombs 3,000 years later.
which of the following is not true about mummification?
choose one option
a it was so effective that mummified bodies are found still whole thousands of years later.
b it involved removing organs, covering the body with salts and oils and wrapping it in linen.
c it meant that the soul didn’t have to be weighed by osiris after death.
d it was intended to preserve the body after death so the soul could continue to exist.

Explanation:

El texto dice que los faraones creían que para que el alma existiera en la vida después de la muerte, el cuerpo debía ser preservado (mencionando la momificación). También se menciona que se removían los órganos, se secaba el cuerpo con sales y aceites y se envolvía con lino. Además, se dice que algunos momias estaban enteras milenios después. No se menciona nada sobre que la momificación evitara que el alma fuera pesada por Osiris.

Answer:

C. It meant that the soul didn’t have to be weighed by Osiris after death.
