Cambridge 16 Explanations [@cambridgematerials]

iii is incorrect: 
This 
paragraph tells us about a king, but it does not say that he saved his people.
16 The correct answer is ii, ‘A difficult task for those involved’: 
The text mentions that ‘Much 
experimentation was involved’, which suggests that the construction of the pyramid was not a 
simple task. It then says, ‘The weight of the enormous mass was a challenge for the builders’.
If something is a challenge, it means that it is not easy to do.
17 The correct answer is v, ‘An overview of the external buildings and areas’: 
The text 
refers to the size of the Step Pyramid and the area it occupied, as well as the purpose of certain 
buildings, such as the temple. It also describes the outer wall and trench surrounding the 
complex. This paragraph is therefore an overview – a general description – of the outside of the 
pyramid site. 
i is incorrect: 
This paragraph does not refer to anything inside the pyramid.
18 The correct answer is i, ‘The areas and artefacts within the pyramid itself’: 
This 
paragraph begins by describing how different sections inside the pyramid – the burial chamber, 
tunnels and rooms – were arranged. It then describes some artefacts: the stone vessels which 
were found inside the pyramid. 
v is incorrect: 
This paragraph describes the areas 
inside
the 
pyramid, not the external areas.
19 The correct answer is viii, ‘An incredible experience despite the few remains’: 
The text 
refers to ancient robbers, saying that ‘all archaeologists found were a small number of [Djoser’s] 
valuables overlooked by the thieves’. This means that there were few objects left in the pyramid. 
But it then goes on to say, ‘There was enough left throughout the pyramid and its complex
however, to astonish and amaze the archaeologists who excavated it.’ This tells us that even 
though there were few remains, the archaeologists still thought the discovery of them was amazing.
