Perseverance and Focusing on an Objective: Viewpoint in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone

Question 4 • Common Core ELA 7 A-IC

Which sentence from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone includes an opinion?

Answer
A
The writings of Horapollo circulated widely throughout Europe and influenced the study of hieroglyphs for centuries to come.
B
By the time the visitors from Greece arrived, no living Egyptian knew how to read the hieroglyphic writing of his ancestors.
C
Looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—Kircher let his imagination run wild.
D
At the top are fourteen lines of hieroglyphs—pictures of animals, birds, and geometric shapes.

Explanation

“Let his imagination run wild” is a judgment about Kircher’s behavior, rather than a neutral fact that can be directly observed or verified. The other sentences report historical information or describe what appears on the stone. Therefore, the sentence expressing an opinion is “Looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—Kircher let his imagination run wild.”
