The ancient Egyptians displayed their considerable grasp of geometry in a number of ways. What is arguably the most obvious is the way geometry was used in the construction of the pyramids and other buildings and monuments. Certainly they laid out their cities using geometric principles. It was Ahmes (actually Ahmose), who left us with a fine approximation of the value of pi from that time. In other words they used geometry by building pyramids.
I would say the answer would be C but the actual meaning of the word "punctilious " means showing great attention to detail or correct behavior . Matthew may have be trying to spell it correctly or just came up short . So therefore it would be A .
