Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Taconite is a silica-rich and low-grade ore of iron. This iron ore was initially considered to be a waste rock due to the abundance of higher-grade natural iron ore. But now, with the decreasing amount of natural iron ore, the use of taconite is increasing. They are extremely hard rock and the iron ore present in this rock is extracted by the use of magnetism. Due to the heavier weight, these rocks are needed to be transported from one place to another using very heavy vehicles.

These rocks are obtained by the smelting process in which carbon is used to heat the iron ore. This emission of carbon into the atmosphere can contribute to pollution.  

These rocks are usually found in the streams and wetland areas. They are abundantly present on earth and not a non-renewable resource.

Hence, the most appropriate answer is option (D).

Which statement best describes the social status of women in ancient Egypt? Women were viewed as the lowest social class. Women
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

In ancient Egypt, women were given many of the same rights as men.

Explanation:

The women in ancient Egypt were in no way seen as the lowest social class, so this statement is not correct.

The women were allowed by law to do pretty much everything as the men, so their status was not dependent on their husbands, so it is not a correct statement.

The women were equal in front of law in ancient Egypt, as well as being able to do the same things as men, so this statement is correct.

Women did not have the same status as their fathers, so this is not a correct statement.
