Read this excerpt from the riddle of the rosetta stone by james cross giblin. in the next few years following the publication of his book, champollion deciphered many more hieroglyphs. he was named "keeper of the egyptian collections" in paris in recognition of his accomplishments. then, in 1829, he got what he had always wanted. with the backing of the french government, he journeyed to egypt to see the ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions for himself. what inference can readers make based on the details in the excerpt? only the french recognized champollion for his accomplishments in deciphering hieroglyphics. the french government considered champollion’s work to be a significant achievement. champollion published a book just so he could take a free trip to egypt. champollion had to see the hieroglyphics in person to be able to write about them.

The right answer is the B) The French government considered Champollion’s work to be a significant achievement.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the excerpt reveals that Champollion deciphered hieroglyphs and wrote about them before traveling to Egypt, so option D is incorrect. In addition, the excerpt does not suggest that he wrote about the difficult subject of hieroglyphs so he could travel to Egypt for free. His was a very commendable work. Option C can, therefore, be discarded as well. Finally, the excerpt does not suggest that only the French recognized Champollion for his accomplishments in deciphering hieroglyphics—it does say that the French government supported him during his first trip to Egypt and that he was publicly recognized for his accomplishments. For that reason, the right answer is the B. Being named "Keeper of the Egyptian Collections" in Paris and supported during his first trip to Egypt does suggest that the French government considered his work to be a significant achievement.
