Explanation:

- The passage discusses the ancient origins of watermelon, particularly in Egypt.

- Blank 4 needs a word that describes the type of Egyptian structures where hieroglyphics were found.

- Option 1: "obsolete" refers to something no longer in use or outdated, which doesn't fit the context.

- Option 2: "outdated" means something old-fashioned or not current, but is not suitable for describing structures that are historically significant.

- Option 3: "ancient" is appropriate as it refers to something belonging to the very distant past and is typically used for structures like pyramids and temples.

- Option 4: "elderly" refers to people of advanced age and doesn't apply to buildings.
