Answer: The right answer is "moving from the details of the individual hieroglyphics to the big picture of hieroglyphics being both representations of sounds and symbols."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, in this excerpt from James Cross Giblin's entertaining account of the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and its translation by French historian Jean François Champollion (1790-1832), the narrator is pointing out that reflecting upon the hieroglyphs further gave Champollion a chance to understand that, far from simply representing the sounds that identified the names of the pharaohs, or, as some scholars thought, having solely a symbolic meaning, hieroglyphs were both sounds and symbols. He, therefore, advanced the knowledge on the spoken language of ancient Egypt.

Which sentence is most important to include in a summary of the article? A One company colored the river red and yellow with exc
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

B. The Hudson River became polluted in the effort to gain wealth.

Explanation:

The given question refers to an excerpt from the story <em>River of Dreams</em>  written by Hudson Talbott.

A summary is a shortened version of a piece of writing (e.g. an excerpt, chapter, book, article). It should contain only the main ideas and most important supporting details presented in the text. The main idea is the most important point the author is making, and supporting details are pieces of information that explain, describe, illustrate, or expand the main idea.

The author of the given excerpt tells about how the Hudson River became polluted while people living around it aimed to gain wealth. That is the main idea of the excerpt, which is why option B is the correct one. The rest of the options are supporting details, which makes them incorrect.
