Answer:

Opportunity cost is what is given up to obtain something, or the cost of doing something instead of another thing.

The opportunity cost of leisure would be best explained as the monetary value of time spent not working, or in other words, the income that is not received when you are not working.

For example, if a person works 8 hours a day, five days a week, making $20/hour, he will earn, by the end of the week, a total of $800 dollars. However, if he decides to cut back his hours in order to go to swimming classes in the afternoon, and now works 6 hours a day, five days a week, he will now make $600 dollars, so the opportunity cost of leisure for him is $200 dollars.

Mademuasel [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The statement best shows her role in the New Kingdom is the following:

"Hatshepsut became the first female pharaoh to rule Egypt."

After the death of Pharaoh Thutmose II, the pharaoh's chief wife, Hatshepsut, served as regent to young Thutmose III. She later took over full control and appointed herself as the pharaoh.

Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, and Tutankhamun ruled Egypt during the New Kingdom.

These ancient Egyptian Pharaohs ruled in what historians call the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. This dynasty started in 1549 BC and ended in 1292 BC, and is considered to be a period of great accomplishments for the Egyptians and exerted so much power in the Nile River region. Its importance was so big at the time that some historians have named this period the Thutmosid era. During this dynasty, Egypt was ruled by two women Pharaohs: Nefemeferuaten and Hatshepsut. Both Pharaohs had a great deal of success in a time where only men used to govern the lands.
