It began after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors. Over the next several years, consumer spending and investment dropped, causing steep declines in industrial output and employment as failing companies laid off workers.
Answer:
"Many important people gathered in the temple in Memphis to honor Ptolemy."
Explanation:
The passage brings this central idea up multiple time:
"Chief Priests and Prophets and those who enter the inner shrine for the robing of the gods"
"other priests from the temples throughout the land who have come to meet the king at Memphis"
Both of these talk about important people going to the temple to honor Memphis
For the first one, it is correct, although it is not considered the main idea for this passage. It is simply hinted at, as it says they "enter the inner shrine".
For the second one, Sacred Scribes did go to the temple, but not for the purpose of recording events
For the third one, it is correct, but again, it is not the central idea. It is merely a detail to add to the fact of why people go to worship them
So, this would only leave the last one!
