2 The ancient Egyptians were one of the first groups of people to use secret passages. The great pyramids were built to honor the rulers of this ancient civilization. When Egyptian leaders died, their people would place them in →crypts←, or tombs, deep inside the pyramids. These tombs were often filled with priceless treasures—items that the Egyptians believed their leaders would take with them to the next world. In order to prevent robbers from stealing these treasures, the Egyptians built secret passageways that led to the tombs. The designers also constructed fake tombs and deadly traps that would fool any would-be robbers.

What is the MOST LIKELY reason the author used bold print for the word crypt in paragraph 2?
A) to emphasize a major point
B) to identify an unfamiliar term
C) to show the main idea of the passage
D) to highlight the most important idea

The most likely reason why the author put the word "crypt" in bold print it to distinguish a term that has appear for the first time in the text and might be unknown to the reader.

We can see that after the word "crypt", the author provides the synonym "tomb", which shows that he believes that it is very possible that the reader is not familiar with the term.
