"For many years Champollion's progress was blocked because, like de Sacy and earlier scholars, he believed the
hieroglyphs represented things, not sounds. Then, in 1822, he reversed his position. Some of Champollion's rivals

suggestions, claiming that he had arrived at his new position entirely on his own."

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. read the following excerpt from the novel "oliver twist" by charles dickens. although oliver had been brought up by philosophers, he was not theoretically acquainted with the beautiful axiom that self-preservation is the first law of nature. if he had been, perhaps he would have been prepared for this. not being prepared, however, it alarmed him the more; so away he went
