Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone. He wrote to a friend: "You tell me that I shall astonish the world if I m

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

Who and what does Odysseus bring to the cave? What do Odysseus and his men disagree about? Who is right?
stepladder [879]
When Odysseus goes to inspect the cave that he later learns belongs to the Cyclops, Polyphemus, he brings with him a goat skin bottle of dark wine that was given to him by Maron.

Odysseus does not agree with the men stealing food from the cyclops Polyphemus's cave not because he believes it is a moral wrong, but because he believes that if the men meet Polyphemus and request shelter, the cyclops will offer shelter and a valuable gift, as is the social and religious expectation in Odysseus's world.

In the end Odysseus’s men were correct and Odysseus’s plan goes completely awry when Polyphemus appears and attacks and eats some of Odysseus's men. Polyphemus does not observe the social norm of hospitality, as he does not believe himself to be subservient to the gods, such as Zeus, who favor humans who observe hospitality. However Odysseus manages to blind Polyphemus and escapes the island with the remainder of his men. Odysseus let his overconfidence overshadow the cautious suggestion of the men to sneak off with the food from Polyphemus's cave.
