Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.
Answer and Explanation:
The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.
The topic sentence is the starting sentence and what you’re talking about
Answer:
c: Champollion was amazed after seeing Karnak
Explanation:
Jean-François Champollion was a French linguist most famous for his work on Ancient Egypt and for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics.
In this excerpt we can clearly see signs of deep admiration and fascination Champollion had towards Egyptian culture, society and especially architecture.
That can best be seen from his sentence: "No nation on earth, ancient or modern, has ever conceived architecture on so noble and vast a scale".
This diary entry suggests that he was extremly amazed at the sight of Karnak.
How am I supposed to know if I haven’t read the paragraph.
