The correct answer is D, because that is the only appropriate shift in tense. A isn't correct because present perfect tense (have raced) is used inappropriately, when it should have been past perfect. B is also incorrect because past perfect means that that action happened before the storm blew, which is not the case. C features future continuous tense, which is impossible due to shift in tense. Therefore, the answer is D, because there is an appropriate tense in that sentence, past simple.

'D - Misplaced words' would be my answer. My trick is to say the sentence out loud and you'll hear that somethings wrong.

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

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.
