Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
As he thought about the hieroglyphs in Thothmes' and Ramesses' names, Champollion realized their significance. It went far beyond the names themselves and gave him an insight into the entire system of hieroglyphic writing. For the names revealed that hieroglyphs were not simply representations of sounds. Nor did they have an exclusively symbolic meaning, as Thomas Young and other scholars had long believed. Instead, they were a combination of the two.
What type of reasoning is shown in the excerpt?
A. moving from the big picture of hieroglyphics being both representations of sounds and symbols to the details of Thothmes's and Ramesses's names
B. moving from the big picture of Thothmes's and Ramesses's names to the details of the hieroglyphic translations
C. moving from the details of the individual hieroglyphics to the big picture of hieroglyphics being both representations of sounds and symbols
D. moving from the details of hieroglyphic writing to the big picture of Thomas Young and other scholars
