The passage: In July of 1799, over 200 years ago, French soldiers came upon a block of stone in the Egyptian town of el-Rashid,

or Rosetta. The stone was inscribed with three translations of the same message from priests of Ptolemy V. The message itself, having to do with taxes on priests, is rather unimportant for us today. However, the Rosetta Stone, as it has come to be called, provided scholars with the key to translating Egyptian hieroglyphics. Two of the languages on the stone are Egyptian, one of them being hieroglyphics and the other being Demotic. The second language is Greek. Therefore, linguists familiar with Greek were able to roughly translate the meaning of the hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs were a formal writing system in Egypt that used picture symbols. Such writing is found in many of Egypt’s most famous structures, including the Great Pyramids. These symbols were able to be translated after the discovery and translation of the Rosetta Stone.
question: What is the best summary of this passage?

a. The Rosetta Stone, which made translating Egyptian hieroglyphs possible, was discovered over 200 years ago in el-Rashid, Egypt.

b.The message on the Rosetta Stone dates from the time of Ptolemy V and is a declaration of important tax information for priests near el-Rashid.

c. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone finally made possible the translation of many examples of hieroglyphs in places like the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

d. The Rosetta Stone was inscribed with a message in three languages, including Greek, making translation of Demotic and hieroglyphs possible.

goblinko [34]
When we say aesthetic beauty, this has to do with the appreciation of beauty. In the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by <span>Zora Neale Hurston, how aesthetic beauty influences the structure of this novel is that rich descriptions which the use of descriptive words create a vivid setting, and the connotative languages helps narrate the plot. Connotative languages here include different expressions that create an art in conveying the theme of the novel. Hope this helps.</span>

Answer:

We do all of this?

Explanation:

"Ms. Adams, I am writing this letter to you after reading your essay, “On the Equality of the Sexes” to share my opinions with you. This is not a letter to condemn you of your views, but to much rather to have a civil conversation with you. As I mentioned in my article for the Pennsylvania Gazette, where I listed the “Rules and Maxims for Promoting Matrimonial Happiness”, I do believe that women are very capable and willing to accept advice and practice it. You shared a similar view that women are capable of critical thinking by having intellectual thoughts. I do agree with this view, but I must disagree with your later statements regarding women’s education. A woman mustn't prioritize other things over her role in the household.
