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.

Read the passage from The Rámáyan of Válmiki.
algol13

The most likely reason the author uses the <em>word hapless</em> to describe the king is A. A. It has a negative connotation, which suggests that the king is weak.

This is shown based on the given description that the prince was ready to consecrate and the king was weak and powerless and thus she told him to redeem his gifts.

<h3>What is a Connotation?</h3>

This refers to the tone used to describe a thing and can either be positive or negative and this shows the way readers view a character or situation.

Therefore, we can see that the use of the word hapless has a negative connotation as it suggests that the king is weak.

And this is shown based on the given description that the prince was ready to consecrate and the king was weak and powerless and thus she told him to redeem his gifts.

This is seen as the Queen is described as young and she is also further described as one with eyes filled with envious hate, so she treats the king with disdain as the Prince was about to be consecrated.

  • Bought and got need to be changed to buy and get so that the sentence is parallel. These words are part of a series of actions that starts with the wake.
