According to the passage, what caused the Rosetta
Stone to be unearthed?
O A note led the soldiers to the spot.
A note from a French army officer accompanied the
package. He told the scholars that the stone had been
unearthed in an old fort near the town of Rosetta, thirty-
five miles north of Alexandria. French soldiers were
tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came
upon the slab. The top right and left corners were
missing, as was the bottom right corner. The soldiers had
gone over the rest of the wall carefully in hopes of finding
the missing pieces embedded in it, but with no luck.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
