Question

understanding the scholars discovery
but what did the passage 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 slab 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 could 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.

• the riddle of the rosetta stone,

james cross giblin
how did the scholars know that the inscription was
same in all three languages on the rosetta stone?
o the last sentence explained that the inscription
the same.
o they deciphered the hieroglyphs on the stone.
which told them the inscription was the same.
o the british scholars explained that the inscriptior
was the same.
o they deciphered the demotic writing, which told
them the inscription was the same.

Explanation:

The text clearly states that the last sentence of the Greek text indicated the inscription was the same in all three languages. The other options are incorrect as the scholars hadn't deciphered the hieroglyphs or demotic writing yet, and there's no mention of British scholars explaining this in the given text.

Answer:

The last sentence explained that the inscription was the same.
