Read the excerpt from the decree inscribed on the Rosetta Stone, which appears in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cros

s Giblin. and whereas he has directed that impressment for the navy shall no longer be employed; and whereas he provided that cavalry and infantry forces and ships should be sent out against those who invaded Egypt by sea and by land, laying out great sums in money and grain in order that the temples and all those who are in the land might be in safety; in return for which things the gods have given him health, victory, and power, and all other good things, and he and his children shall retain the kingship for all time. How do the details in the excerpt support the central idea that Ptolemy was a great king? They provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness. They make a comparison of Ptolemy to other rulers. They create an image of Ptolemy as having great physical strength. They show a pattern of Ptolemy invading other countries by sea and by land.

Answer:

They provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness.

Explanation:

This excerpt helps us learn a lot about King Ptolemy. It states that he was a fair ruler for stopping the impressment for the navy. Also, he is described as a protector of the country for providing cavalry, infantry and ships as a means of defence against anyone who would atack Egypt by sea or by land. He was said to be generous and kind for his donations to temples and people residing in them.

Basically, this entire excerpt is a list of examples that serve as an evidence for the claim that Ptolemy was a great king and man.

The Chicken and his Sneakers

Once upon a time, there was a chicken named Roy, he had the coolest sneakers to exist well at least to him. Roy, who is 9 years old, thinks his sneakers give him powers. He says the blue color on the shoes give him 'super speed', the orange gives him 'super jump'. Roy has a friend named Jasper, Jasper is in disbelief of the sneakers because Roy won't let him try them on and take them for a ride. Roy had these sneakers for 2 years and they're still in factory new condition, no one knows what he does with them but they're quite clean. One day, Roy is in his living room watching chicken patrol, minding his own business, when he gets a call on his home phone from his mother, Amanda. Roy picks up the phone as fast as he can “What are you doing?” says, Amanda. Roy instantly replies with “T.V and only T.V.” . Amanda then says “Get your but outside now or else your grounded.”. Roy, In a poor voice, says “OK MOM." Roy scurries off to go find his kicks he looks and looks but can't seem to find them, they were not in the same place as he left them. Roy then heard laughing outside and he saw his friend Jasper and his sister, Casity. Running about on the streets Roy rushes outside yelling “WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SNEAKERS?!” Jasper replies in a shaken voice saying, “You would not let me try them so I snuck in when you were sleeping and took them before you woke up.” “WHAT?!” yelled Roy “SLEEPING?!” Jasper's sister had left already running back inside. Jasper looked around and took off running, the shoes started flaring up like a rocket and took off going 50 miles per hour. While he was running in his neighborhood he realized that he lives in a culdesac and there were only two options for Jasper, it was either run at Roy or try and jump the fence. Jasper thinking as hard, 'as he can see smoke coming out of his head'. “He's running so freaking fast.” said Roy, they were about 50 yards way, inching closer and closer until the moment Jasper is now 5 yards away and he needs to jump with all his might, he puts all of his thrust into it and jumps a poor 2 feet off the ground and Roy looked up and all he saw was Jasper's face smack against the wood fence, the sound from the conflict between both him and the fence, collided, echoed on, teeth flying everywhere.
