Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that t

he Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the end, he wrote SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs. He studied the combination: RA ? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient Greek chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic representation of Ramesses' name? Based on the excerpt, what detail did Champollion need to conclude that the hieroglyphics might represent Ramesses’s name? the pronunciation of the Egyptian word for sun the meaning of the unknown hieroglyphic the dates that Ramesses ruled Egypt the part of the Bible in which Ramesses appeared

Formal and Informal Language
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Formal Language:

- This is a serious problem.

- I hope to hear from you.

- Thank you for your time.

Informal Language:

- This is totally ridiculous.

- No way that's happening!

- You're the best!

Explanation:

We use Formal language when we are talking to people we do not know well, in formal situations and in academic speeches or texts. It is characterized by the use of complex sentences, lack of colloquial terms and the use of polite and formal expressions.

On the other hand, we use Informal language when we are talking to people we already know (our friends and family) in everyday situations. It's characterized by the use of simple and colloquial sentences, slang and lack of formal expressions and structures.
