Question 953 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects.The drum was found by Kitchener’s army near Khartoum after the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest of the city. Once again it was re-carved – or re-branded – to make a political statement: near the tail of the bush calf Kitchener added the emblem of the British Crown. It was then presented to Queen Victoria.
Answer
A
The emblem of the British crown was carved onto all artifacts found by the British army.
B
The carving on the slit drum was viewed as an unimportant addition by Kitchener’s army.
C
The carving on the slit drum is representative of British rule over African territories.
D
The emblem of the British crown was commonly found already engraved on foreign artifacts.
Explanation
Kitchener’s army added the British Crown emblem to the drum after the reconquest of Khartoum, making a political statement. The emblem therefore represents British authority over the territory. The excerpt does not say this was done to all artifacts or that the carving was unimportant or commonly present beforehand.
