    • They disrespected the Egyptian gods.

    • They were stealing the wealth of the Egyptians.

    Correct Answer
    A. They were growing in number.
    Explanation
    The Israelites were oppressed by the Egyptians because they were growing in number. As their population increased, the Egyptians saw them as a potential threat and feared that they would become too powerful. To control them, the Egyptians imposed harsh labor and enslaved the Israelites, hoping to suppress their growth and maintain their dominance over them.

    • Parting of the sea

    Correct Answer

    Moses' encounter with God was symbolized by the burning bush. In the biblical story, Moses saw a bush that was on fire but was not consumed by the flames. This was a miraculous event that caught Moses' attention and led him to approach the bush.

    What were the complaints of the Israelites in the desert?

    • They could not find the direction going to the Promised Land.

    • They were thirsty and hungry but there was no food and water.

    • They could not stand the burning heat of the sun during the day and the cold during the night.

    Correct Answer
    A. They were thirsty and hungry but there was no food and water.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "They were thirsty and hungry but there was no food and water." This answer accurately reflects one of the complaints of the Israelites in the desert. It states that they were in need of food and water but were unable to find any. This complaint is supported by biblical accounts such as Exodus 16:2-3 where the Israelites grumbled about not having enough food to eat. Additionally, Numbers 20:2-5 describes how the people complained about the lack of water.

    • Deliverer of slaves

    • Chosen one of God

    • Drawn from the water

    Correct Answer
    A. Drawn from the water
    Explanation
    The name 'Moses' means 'drawn from the water'. This is derived from the biblical story of Moses being found as a baby floating in a basket in the Nile River and being rescued by the Pharaoh's daughter. The name signifies the circumstances of Moses' birth and how he was saved from death by being drawn out of the water.

    How did the Pharaoh double the work of the slaves after Moses confronted him?  

    • The Pharaoh’s soldiers hit the slaves while they make the bricks.

    • The slaves were not allowed to eat and rest until they finished their work.

    • The slaves were not provided with straw but they had to produce the same number of bricks.

    Correct Answer
    A. The slaves were not provided with straw but they had to produce the same number of bricks.
    Explanation
    After Moses confronted the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh doubled the work of the slaves by not providing them with straw but still demanding the same number of bricks to be produced. This meant that the slaves had to work harder and find alternative ways to make the bricks without the necessary materials. This increased their workload and made their task even more challenging and difficult.
