Young made several mistakes. He thought the third hieroglyph was part of the one for "T," whereas it actually stood for the vowe
l "O'." The fourth hieroglyph, the lion, meant just "L," the fifth meant "M," and the last hieroglyph stood simply for "S." In other words, the spelling in Egyptian was "Ptolmis," not "Ptolemaios." Which statement best describes this excerpt? This excerpt is biased because it reflects an attitude about Young's actions. This excerpt is biased because it reflects an attitude about Egyptian spelling. This excerpt is unbiased because it provides opinions about Egyptian spelling. This excerpt is unbiased because it provides details about Young's actions.

Explanation:
The last statement aptly describes that the given excerpt is unbiased as it offers an objective account of the actions of the young. <u>The author presents the mistakes of his actions using third person point of view and without employing any descriptive words to make his idea effective for convincing the audience to believe in it</u>.

A statement we accept without proof is called a

be true without any evidence that will prove these. For instance, the
postulates in the kinetic molecular theory.
