A. It included more religious festivals than did the other calendar.
B. It was used for scheduling tax payments.
C. It had the same number of days every year.
D. It used the Moon to determine the beginning of the year.
答案是B跟C
关键应该是在最后一段:
But was it any way to run a government? They didn’t think so. For
administrative purposes, it was very inconvenient to have years of different
lengths. So another calendar was introduced, an administrative one. Probably
soon after 3,000BC, they declared a 365-day year, with 12 months per year,
with exactly 30 days each month, with an extra 5 days at the end of each
year. This administrative calendar existed alongside the earlier agricultural
and religious calendar that depended on the heliacal rising of Sirius. This
administrative calendar was much easier to use for things like scheduling
taxes and other things that had to be paid on time. Over time, the calendar
got out of step with seasons and the flooding of the Nile, but for
bureaucratic purposes, they didn’t mind.
我根据这句:
For administrative purposes, it was very inconvenient to have years of different
lengths.
判断埃及政府的历法天数不同于另一种
答案C感觉有点怪怪
希望有人可以帮我解惑
谢谢!

对管理的目的来说，不同长度的年是不方便的。换句话说相同长度的年份对管理来说比较方便，税收啊等等的
