Question

finding evidence using a signal word
but what did the passages in egyptian mean? did they contain exactly the same message as the greek passage? the last sentence of the greek text said, \this decree shall be inscribed on a stela slah of hard stone in sacred hieroglyphic and native demotic and greek characters,\ so it seemed clear that the inscription was the same in all three languages. that way, the priests statement would be read by egyptians who understood greek, as well as by those who knew only one or both of the egyptian languages. but the scholars were still far from being able to decipher either the hieroglyphs or the demotic writing.

ann cross giblin
what signal word helps readers identify evidence of cause - and - effect relationship in the passage?
shall
so
but
both

Explanation:

Signal words for cause - and - effect relationships show how one thing leads to another. In the passage, "so" is a signal word. The statement "the last sentence of the Greek text said... so it seemed clear..." shows that the content of the Greek text (cause) led to the conclusion that the inscriptions were the same in all three languages (effect).

Answer:

so
