Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
He recognized immediately that the last two hieroglyphs were the same as two in Ramesses and read "mes." They were
accompanied by the figure of a bird, an ibis. Champollion knew from reading ancient Greek books that the ibis was the
symbol of Thoth, the Egyptian god of learning and magic. He decided the three hieroglyphs must represent the name of
Thothmes, the "Child of Thoth," a pharaoh who ruled Egypt from 1501 to 1447 B. C.
Based on the excerpt, what detail did Champollion use to conclude that the hieroglyphics represent the pharaoh Thothmes?
the title of Thoth as the god of learning and magic
the dates that Thothmes ruled Egypt
the symbolic meaning of the ibis
the ancient Greek language

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
