according to the passage, why did the people want to build a tower that reaches to the heavens?
○ to create a monument to their god
○ to escape future floods
○ to make a name for themselves
○ to communicate with divine beings

Explanation:

In the biblical account of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11), the people wanted to build a tower reaching to the heavens to make a name for themselves (so they would not be scattered over the face of the whole earth). The other options: creating a monument to their god is not the reason, escaping floods is not related (the flood was earlier), and communicating with divine beings is not the stated motive.

Answer:

C. To make a name for themselves
