Why this is the answer
Direct detail question — the passage states 'It was constructed for the pharaoh Khufu of Egypt's Fourth Dynasty.' Distractor analysis: other pharaohs are famous Egyptian rulers but the passage specifies Khufu. ASVAB PC includes named details — proper nouns for people, places, things. Strategy: when answering 'who/what/where/when' questions about specifics, scan for the proper noun in the passage rather than relying on memory or outside knowledge. The passage is the source of truth — even if you know something different from outside, answer based on what the passage says. If multiple specific details are given, distinguish them carefully (the pyramid was built around 2560 BC, was the tallest for 3,800 years, was originally 146.6m tall, now 138m, was built for Khufu, is the only surviving ancient wonder). Different questions could ask about each fact.
