Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.The only hieroglyph that confused Champollion was the one for "T," which was different in the two names.What is the best evidence in the text for the prediction that Champollion will eventually figure out the "T” hieroglyph?
Answer
A
Champollion promised his brother that he would not give up.
B
Champollion cared only about being the first one to discover things.
C
Champollion showed determination when faced with other obstacles.
D
Champollion is described as a scholarly person.
Explanation
The strongest evidence is that Champollion has shown determination when facing other obstacles. A person who keeps working through earlier difficulties is likely to continue trying to understand the confusing “T” hieroglyph. Choice A gives a specific promise, but the broader evidence of his persistence is the best support for the prediction.
