This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. Since the options are the same, I will omit them:
Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.
The Greek leader, Alexander the Great, had taken control of Egypt in 332 B.C., and after Alexander's death in 323 B.C. his general, Ptolemy, replaced him. From then until 30 B.C., when Rome conquered Egypt, a long line of pharaohs from the Ptolemy family ruled the country. The Ptolemys kept their Greek culture, including their language, but they also respected the customs and religious beliefs of the native Egyptians.
The details in this excerpt serve as evidence for which fact?
Answer:
The details serve as evidence for the fact that:
C. One of the three inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone was written in Greek.
Explanation:
<u>Notice how the excerpt focuses on Greek leaders. First Alexander, then his general, Ptolemy. It also makes a point of stating that, even though the Greeks ruled Egypt and respected Egyptian culture, they also made a point of maintaining their own culture, including their language. The reason why this is mentioned in this excerpt is to serve as evidence that one of the three inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone was written in Greek.</u>
We must understand that all the options are true concerning the Rosetta Stone, but this question wants us to connect the details in the excerpt to one of the facts about it. And, as we can see, the excerpt gives us evidence of the Greek language being important even in Egypt. Therefore, the best option is letter C. of the three inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone was written in Greek.
