Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The logical sequence starts with the statement that we know more about the wealthy people of Egypt, followed by the acknowledgment that most monuments were made for the rich. Then we discuss that most sources of information about Egypt come from the rich’s monuments, followed by details about the houses of ordinary Egyptians, and concluding with the clarification that death was not the Egyptians' only preoccupation. Thus, the correct order is: \[ \boxed{(3) \ \text{EDCBA}} \]
