B)The start of the story emphasizes the fact that “everybody was finally equal.”
This is false.
It is false because a scientific method is a lot more complex and has many steps which need to be fulfilled for it to be valid. Rationality and common sense are not enough for something to be scientific as sometimes something can be irrational or almost nonsensical and yet scientific.
It was crucial due to the fact the Egyptians was dependent on the cycle of the Nile River. The Egyptians recognized three seasons: Akhet (flooding), Peret (planting), and Shemu (harvesting). The flooding season lasted from June to September, depositing on the river's banks a layer of mineral-rich silt ideal for growing crops. After the floodwaters had receded, the growing season lasted from October to February. Farmers plowed and planted seeds in the fields, which were irrigated with ditches and canals. Egypt received little rainfall, so farmers relied on the Nile to water their crops. From March to May, farmers used sickles to harvest their crops, which were then threshed with a flail to separate the straw from the grain. Winnowing removed the chaff from the grain, and the grain was then ground into flour, brewed to make beer, or stored for later use.
