Question

How is the author’s purpose in “Armchair Archaeology” different from the author’s purpose in "Ancient Egypt"? Support your answer using specific details from each source. Be sure to identify the source of each piece of information by title or number.

Answer 1

Answer:

enlightens readers about the role of satellite images in archaeology, the other focuses on the general features of the ancient ruins in Egypt.

Explanation:

Based on a careful reading of both articles, it could be noticed that in “Armchair Archaeology” the author's purpose seems to be about enlightening his readers about the role/benefits of satellite images in archeology. For example, after stating a recent find by Sarah Parcak, the author added, "Perhaps more amazing  than the finds themselves is the way Parcak detected them: on her computer." that statement led to a series of other facts been mentioned about the use of satellite images in archeological finds.

Meanwhile, the second source dwells more on the features of the Egyptian pyramid and its other ancient ruins. For example,  we read, "The “Great Pyramid” presents . . . many other marvels besides its size." a statement that leads to several reports throughout the article about the features of the Egyptian pyramid and its other ancient ruins.
