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

A few genuine advances in understanding the hieroglyphs were made during the 1700s. The French scholar C. J. de Guignes observed that groups of hieroglyphs in Egyptian texts were often enclosed by an oval outline, which he called a cartouche. "Cartouche" is a French word that originally meant a cartridge, and the line around the hieroglyphs had a similar shape. De Guignes guessed rightly that the cartouches in hieroglyphic inscriptions were intended to draw attention to important names, probably the names of Egyptian rulers.

Based on this excerpt, what is the author’s view of the progress made in the 1700s?

A. A French scholar first used the term “cartouche” to describe hieroglyphs.
B.Scholars had some success understanding the meanings of the hieroglyphs.
C.By the 1700s, scholars had given up trying to figure out the hieroglyphs.
D.Hieroglyphs in Egyptian texts were often enclosed within an oval shape

The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian creative writing assignment

(1) In 1995, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared that "advertising directed at children is inherently deceptive
and exploits children under eight years of age." (2) The academy did not recommend a ban on such advertising
because it seemed impractical and would infringe upon advertisers' freedom of speech. (3) Today the health risks faced
by the nation's children far outweigh the needs of its mass marketers. (4) Congress should immediately ban all
advertisements aimed at children that promote foods high in fat and sugar. (5) Thirty years ago Congress banned
cigarette ads from radio and television as a public health measure-and those ads were directed at adults. (6) Smoking
has declined ever since. (7) A ban on advertising unhealthy foods to children would discourage eating habits that are
not only hard to break, but potentially life-threatening. (8) Moreover, such a ban would encourage the fast-food chains
to alter the recipes for their children's meals. (9) Greatly reducing the fat content of McDonald's Happy Meals, for
example, could have an immediate effect on the diet of the nation's kids. (10) Every month more than 90 percent of the
children in the United States eat at McDonald's.

young children.
