Answer:
The sentence from this excerpt that is a fact is:
C. A German priest of the 1600s, Athanasius Kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of Coptic, the language of Christian Egypt.
Explanation:
"The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone" by James Cross Giblin is known for conveying the author's message by mixing facts and opinions. <u>A fact is something that can be proven true and correct, something that has truly happened. Among the options given, that one that is a fact is letter C. It states something that happened and can be easily proven: someone wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of a certain language in a certain year.</u>
If you look at the other sentences, you'll see they are permeated with opinions. When the author talks about letting [his] imagination run wild, making significant contributions, and producing nonsense, he is expressing his opinions. Other authors might very well regard those things differently.
The character Mowgli was nurtured, just not by humans. Therefore, it is not answer C. Also, he was not "rejected by society" or an "outcast" so it is not A or B. The answer is D. Mowgli is a man who has grown up according to the rules and customs of the jungle, as it says, BUT even though he is a man, his ideas of etiquette and communication are those of animals, rather than people. Because of this, Mowgli does not understand "the law of men" which refers to how humans behave, which causes him to not be able to "fit in" with society. It's basically a cultural barrier. The whole theme of the story is that he is still human, even if his way of life is different. Sometimes, certain cultures look down upon others because they have different customs, which is rude and ignorant. This story has a theme of recognizing people as humans in spite of cultural differences.
