use some help.
based on your knowledge of the greek root -log-, what is the meaning of archaeology?
a the discussion of passing time
b the study of past human life
c the method of doing a big job
d the art of handling fragile things

Explanation:

Question 13 (Part A)

To determine why the narrator says Luxor was "like a circus", we analyze the options. A circus is associated with excitement and a large, enthusiastic audience. Option A says it shows onlookers' enthusiasm, which fits the circus analogy (crowds, excitement). Option B focuses on workers (not the main idea of a circus - like scene), C on journalists (too narrow), D on tourists paying (unrelated to circus imagery). So A is correct.

We need to see how paragraph 3 develops the theme in paragraph 4. Option D: A circus - like scene (excitement, success of finding Tut) contrasting with the inevitability of death (theme) makes sense. A is about "price for achievements" (not supported), B about crowd behavior (not the theme), C about irrationality (not the focus). So D creates contrast for the death theme.

The Greek root -log- means "study" or "word" (related to study). "Archaeo - " relates to ancient/past. So archaeology is the study of past human life. Option A is about time discussion (wrong), C about job method (wrong), D about handling fragile things (wrong). B matches the root and archaeology's definition.

Answer:

A. to show the enthusiasm of the onlookers
