Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.


Before the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, no one knew how to read Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. Its meaning had been lost for almost 1400 years. But countless visitors to Egypt over the centuries had tried to decipher the mysterious symbols. This is the story of their attempts, and of how the Rosetta Stone finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past.


The story begins in the seventh century A.D., when Greek scholars visiting Egypt first called the symbols "hieroglyphs." They gave them that name, which means "sacred carvings" in Greek, because they found so many of them on the walls of Egyptian tombs and temples.


Which phrase from this excerpt best supports the author’s view that the people who deciphered the Egyptian writing system played an important role in history?


A- no one knew how to read Egyptian hieroglyphic writing

B- countless visitors to Egypt over the centuries had tried

C- The story begins in the seventh century A.D.

D-finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past

Lexie didn’t know what to do. The movie adaptation of her favorite book was opening on Friday, and Lexie and her friends Tina and Jess were planning on being at the 7:00 p.m. show. For weeks, they had talked about the night –what they’d wear, how they’d get there, even where they’d sit in the theater. Lexie couldn’t wait!


Until she arrived home from school on Friday afternoon, that is. Her mom greeted her at the door. “Guess what?” she said. “Your little brother made the finals of the spelling bee! The championship is tonight.”


Tonight? Lexie knew how hard Sammy had worked to make the finals, and she was proud of him—but celebrating his big moment would mean missing a night she’d looked forward to for weeks!


“Skip it,” Tina advised when Lexie called her later. “They’ll probably put a video of it online—you can watch it then.” That was true, but it still wasn’t the same as being there to cheer on her brother in person.

The importance of this Bridge in its far-reaching effects at once entices and baffles the imagination. At either end of the Bridge lies a great city – cities full of vigorous life. The activities and the energies of each flow over into the other. The electric current has conveyed unchecked between the two the interchanging thoughts, but the rapid river has ever bidden halt to the foot of man. It is as though the population of these cities had been brought down to the river-side, year after year, there to be taught patience; and as though, in this Bridge, after these many years, patience had had her perfect work. The ardent merchant, the busy lawyer, the impatient traveler – all, without distinction and without exception – at the river have been told to wait. No one can compute the loss of time ensuing daily from delays at the ferries to the multitudes crossing the stream. And time is not only money – it is opportunity. Brooklyn becomes available, henceforth, as a place of residence to thousands, to whom the ability to reach their places of business without interruption from fog and ice is of paramount importance. To all Brooklyn's present citizens a distinct boon is given. —Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, Seth Low.
