Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

Some of these scholars made otherwise significant contributions to the world's knowledge of ancient Egypt. A German priest of the 1600s, Athanasius Kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of Coptic, the language of Christian Egypt. These books were to prove of great value when the hieroglyphs were eventually deciphered.

But Kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of Horapollo. Looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—Kircher let his imagination run wild. Without any evidence to support him, he said that the hieroglyphs meant "The blessings of the god Osiris are to be procured by means of sacred ceremonies, in order that the benefits of the river Nile may be obtained."

Which sentence from this excerpt contains evidence that supports the claim?

Which evidence In the n passage best supports the Inference that there Is mystery behind the design of the Leaning Tower?
excerpt from The Innocents Abroad
by Mark Twain
At Pisa we climbed up to the top of the strangest structure the world has any knowledge of-the Leaning Tower. As
everyone knows, it is in the neighborhood of one hundred and eighty feet high-and I beg to observe that one hundred
and eighty feet reach to about the height of four ordinary three-story buildings piled one on top of the other, and is a
very considerable altitude for a tower of uniform thickness to aspire to, even when it stands upright-yet this one leans
more than thirteen feet out of the perpendicular. It is seven hundred years old, but neither history or tradition say
whether it was built as it is, purposely, or whether one of its sides has settled. There is no record that it ever stood
straight up. It is built of marble. It is an airy and a beautiful structure, and each of its eight stories is encircled by fluted
columns, some of marble and some of granite, with Corinthian capitals that were handsome when they were new. It is a
bell tower, and in its top hangs a chime of ancient bells. The winding staircase within is dark, but one always knows
which side of the tower he is on because of his naturally gravitating from one side to the other of the staircase with the
rise or dip of the tower. Some of the stone steps are foot-worn only on one end; others only on the other end; others
only in the middle. To look down into the tower from the top is likeriooking down into a tilted well. A rope that hangs
from the center of the top touches the wall before it reaches the böttom. Standing on the summit, one does not feel
altogether comfortable when he looks down from the high side; but to crawl on your breast to the verge on the lower
side and try to stretch your neck out far enough to see the base of the tower, makes your flesh creep, and convinces you
for a single moment in spite of all your philosophy, that the building is falling.

Javier loved playing tricks on his older sister, Dina. One afternoon, he heard Dina come into the house after her soccer game. He quickly hid in the hallway closet, planning to jump out and scare her as she walked by. But instead of taking the hallway to her room, Dina stopped in the kitchen to talk with their mom. The two began an animated discussion about a big party they were planning for Javier. All his friends would be there, and all his favorite foods would be served. The women had no idea Javier was listening. And Javier’s desire to play a joke on his sister turned into a ruined surprise.

Here are some more questions I would like to ask Representative Weaver. If the driving age is raised to 21, what will happen to all the afternoon
jobs, the afternoon sports, and the afternoon programs that require some sort of transportation? What will happen to America's economy (and
its spirit) when high schoolers can no longer work the fast-food jobs and restaurant hostess positions? "A teenager behind the wheel is the
symbol of American youth," writes author Peter Chacha: What will happen to this symbol if Representative Weaver's plan is approved? Weaver
also claims that "a majority of seat belt violations" are the fault of the under-21 crowd. But let me ask you this: Do people under the age of 21
really wear their seat belts less often than older people, or are they just caught more often? That is, we know the police have their eye on the
teenagers, but are they looking at the adults as well?
But I can hear it now: "If teenagers are all So safe, why do they have such high accident rates?* Here's a possible answer, inexperience. Like
anybody who is inexperienced, the teenage driver must suffer through a legitimate period of self-doubt and skills acquisition. Chances are, if the
driving age were moved to 21, we would see 21- to 24-year-olds causing the largest percentage of safety problems-not because of a maturity
problem, mind you, but just because they would be inexperienced at driving.
