Plz help and answer in full sentences thx! Read the scenario carefully. Think about what the event will cost the ancient Egyptians, and consider how the event could benefit the ancient Egyptian economy. Then, answer the questions that follow.

Scenario: You are an adviser to the pharaoh in ancient Egypt. The pharaoh wants to build a fleet of new ships to increase trade by moving more goods. This requires wood. Egypt has a trading partner in Southwest Asia that has offered enough wood for the project in exchange for 2,500 sacks of grain. Egypt’s current emergency grain supply is 5,000 sacks of grain. If the pharaoh agrees, this will reduce the country’s emergency grain supply. The supply is already low due to a weak harvest from the previous year. If the upcoming harvest is not large, and the 2,500 sacks of grain are traded, Egypt may risk a famine. There will not be enough grain to feed the Egyptian people. The pharaoh must decide if the benefit of the new fleet of ships is worth the cost of a possible famine.

1. Describe the costs of trading grain for wood in ancient Egypt. In other words, what are the drawbacks of trading grain for wood?

2. Describe the benefits of trading grain for wood in ancient Egypt. In other words, what are the positive outcomes of trading grain for wood?
