Question 11 • DAEP-English 7 A(20 Day Term)

Based on The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, which statement best describes Jean-Baptiste Fourier’s influence on Jean-François Champollion?

Answer
A
Fourier shared his research about mathematics with Champollion, which aided him in his research.
B
Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone, which fascinated him.
C
Fourier shared his findings about the Rosetta Stone with Champollion, which helped him in his research.
D
Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages.

Explanation

Fourier introduced the young Champollion to Egyptian hieroglyphs, and seeing them sparked Champollion’s fascination with deciphering the ancient writing. The best choice is that Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone, which fascinated him. The other choices wrongly describe Fourier as sharing mathematical research, Rosetta Stone findings, or a variety of languages.
