Hurry! 20pts and brainliest put

as time passed, champollion became more and more frustrated. then one day a colleague sent him a copy of an inscription that had been found in the ruins of a temple on the nile river island of philae. written in both hieroglyphs and greek, the inscription was a royal decree issued by pharaoh ptolemy vii and his queen, cleopatra ii. (this was not the famous cleopatra, but an earlier one.)

the greek forms of ptolemy and cleopatra, like the english, had several letters in common. however, champollion corrected thomas young’s mistake and spelled the first name as “ptolmis.” he also knew that cleopatra began with a “k” in greek rather than a “c.” now it was up to the french scholar to show whether or not there was a duplication of hieroglyphs in the egyptian version of the names. he lined up the two groups of symbols and made a comparison.

—the riddle of the rosetta stone,

based on the passage, how was champollion able to translate more hieroglyphs than other scholars? write a few sentences explaining your answer.

Read the excerpt from david foster wallace’s infinite jest. my silent response to the expectant silence begins to affect the air of the room, the bits of dust and sportcoat-lint stirred around by the ac’s vents dancing jaggedly in the slanted plane of windowlight, the air over the table like the sparkling space just above a fresh-poured seltzer. the coach, in a slight accent neither british nor australian, is telling c.t. that the whole application-interface process, while usually just a pleasant formality, is probably best accentuated by letting the applicant speak up for himself. in this excerpt, the narrator is providing a, both objective descriptions and subjective commentaries. b. only objective information about people, setting, and events. c. only subjective responses to the things he sees and experiences. d. a compromised interpretation of events due to his unstable condition.
