Question

Read the following claim: The age of the ramp discovered in the quarry indicates that this technology could have been used during the construction of the pyramids. Which detail from the article provides the BEST support for the statement above?
A. How the Great Pyramids in Egypt were built has long been a mystery. Now a chance discovery by a team of archaeologists may start to unravel it. Their finding in an ancient quarry in Egypt's Eastern Desert supports a certain theory about the pyramids' construction.

B. The recent discovery suggests that hauling the huge blocks of stone used to build the pyramids may have been completed more quickly than experts once thought.

C. The quarry and its inscriptions have long been known to Egyptologists, having been found by British archaeologist Howard Carter. He also famously discovered the intact tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh King Tutankhamun.

D. The inscriptions allowed the researchers to date the ramp to the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, or Cheops. He built the Great Pyramid of Giza about 4,500 years ago.
