A
But this does not mean that death was the Egyptians’ only pre-occupation.
B
Even papyri come mainly from pyramid temples.
C
Most of our traditional sources of information about the Old Kingdom are monuments of the rich like pyramids and tombs.
D
Houses in which ordinary Egyptians lived have not been preserved, and when most people died, they were buried in simple graves.
E
We know infinitely more about the wealthy people of Egypt than we do about the ordinary people, as most monuments were of the rich people.

Solution

E, D, C, B, A.

‘E’ is the best opening line. ‘D’ follows ‘E’ as it explains why we don’t know much about ordinary people. ‘CB’ is definitely a pair as ‘C’ talks about sources of information & B takes it forward (papyri = ancient documents.). Then ‘A’ concludes it.

Solution

B, A, C, D, E.

The paragraph is about ‘separation wall’ and ‘B’ is the best opening sentence. ‘A’ follows ‘B’ as it explains the importance of wall. ‘BC’ is pair. ‘C’ just takes the explanation forward started in ‘A’. After describing the wall, sentence ‘D’ simply describes the surrounding of the wall. ‘E’ sums it up.
