Sorry this is late but...

Answer:

B:Places a great deal of pressure on himself

Explanation:

Because "You tell me that I shall astonish the world if I make out the demotic inscription on the Rosetta Stone. On the contrary, I think it astonishing that It should not have been made out already, and that I should find the task so difficult.” really puts some self pressure on him to find out what the Rosetta Stone says

Hope this helps and sorry that no one answered for the time you needed it

if voting doesn't matter for the average person, why do so many of the powerful people in charge try so hard to keep certain peo
notka56 [123]

Answer:

I think, after this election especially, voting is actually beginning to matter for more people. I think our population is (hopefully) beginning to realize that they <em>can </em>have an affect on who their leader is. A reason a powerful person may not necessarily want the average citizen to know this is because they want to stay in power. If we don't know we can make a difference, we can't hurt their power. A horrible way of thinking, but unfortunately the way many power-craving people behave.
