Explanation:

Question 1

Mummification in ancient Egypt was done to preserve bodies for the afterlife, as they believed in an afterlife and needed the body intact. Option A is a result of mummification, not the reason. Option C is incorrect as linen use was for preservation, not a unique use. So B is correct.

Rich Egyptians could afford elaborate tombs and mummification, while poor Egyptians were often buried in the sand (no elaborate tombs/mummification). Option A is wrong (there was a difference). Option B is wrong (rich were mummified). Option C is wrong (some poor might have simpler mummification or burial, but rich had proper tombs). So D is correct.

Answer:

B. to preserve bodies for the afterlife
