Question

Based on The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, which statement best describes how Jean-François Champollion's brother, Jacques-Joseph, influenced him when he was a young boy? His brother mocked his interest in Middle Eastern languages. His brother copied his interest in Middle Eastern languages. His brother started his interest in Middle Eastern languages. His brother encouraged his interest in Middle Eastern languages.

Answer 1

Jacques-Joseph influenced his brother, Jean-Francois Champollion by encouraging his interest in Middle Eastern languages. This is the right option, as he never had a personal interest on Middle Eastern languages as his brother did, so he never started nor copied it. What he wanted was to support him in any way possible, since he was young and later on, when he even had to support him financially. The option about mocking his brother's interest makes no sense because he always encouraged him.

Answer 2

Answer:

D - His brother encouraged his interest in Middle Eastern languages.
