Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first

two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the end, he wrote

SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs.

He studied the combination: RA? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient Greek

chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic representation of

Ramesses name?

Based on the excerpt, what detail did Champollion need to conclude that the hieroglyphics might represent Ramesses's

name?

A)the pronunciation of the Egyptian word for sun

B)the meaning of the unknown hieroglyphic

C)the dates that Ramesses ruled Egypt

D)the part of the Bible in which Ramesses appeared

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?
