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

Source: King, Stephen. It. New York: Penguin, 1987. Print. Which theme would be advanced by the tone in the above passage best?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
<span>Richie had felt a mad, exhilarating kind of energy growing in the room. . . . He thought he recognized the feeling from his childhood, when he felt it everyday and had come to take it merely as a matter of course. He supposed that, if he had ever thought about that deep-running aquifer of energy as a kid (he could not recall that he ever had), he would have simply dismissed it as a fact of life, something that would always be there, like the color of his eyes . . . . Well, that hadn't turned out to be true. The energy you drew on so extravagantly when you were a kid, the energy you thought would never exhaust itself—that slipped away somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four, to be replaced by something much duller . . . purpose, maybe, or goals . . . .
