In the Late Bronze Age, the Hittite Empire ruled an area that extended over much of modern day Turkey. In a paper for a history class, a student claims that deciphering the writings from the Hittite Empire was key to understanding the history of other early settlements in the Mesopotamian region–Hittite scribes thoroughly documented political events and commercial matters on clay tablets in some of the earliest known examples of written language.Which finding, if true, would most directly support the student’s claim? While archaeologists had been uncovering Hittite tablets for decades, they were left uninterpretable until the language was deciphered in 1915 by Czech linguist Bedrich Hrozny.eliminateThe Hittites were one of the most active early empires, trading frequently with other civilizations and incorporating aspects of other religions and cultures. eliminateThe written language of the Hittites, known as cuneiform, is the earliest surviving language; it arose hundreds of years before the alphabet.eliminateHittite tablets documented the wars and peace treaties between the Hittite Empire and neighboring empires, frequently traded goods, and other regional historical information.

In the late 19th century, the discovery of the Rosetta Stone was crucial in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, as the stone features the same text in hieroglyphs, Demotic script, and Ancient Greek. Prior to this discovery, hieroglyphs were a complete mystery to modern scholars. The successful translation of the stone's inscriptions by Jean-François Champollion revealed that Egyptian hieroglyphs were not purely symbolic but also contained elements of a phonetic writing system. This breakthrough was significant in understanding ancient Egyptian civilization. In addition to linguistic insights, examination of the stone's geological composition confirmed its origin from quarries in Egypt. These findings suggest that ______Which choice most logically completes the text?Choose Your AnswerPreviousNextA.the use of hieroglyphs was limited to religious and ceremonial purposes, distinct from everyday communication in ancient Egypt.B.the Rosetta Stone was likely created specifically as a linguistic key for future generations to decipher hieroglyphs.C.Egyptian hieroglyphs were an advanced form of writing that combined phonetic and symbolic elements, reflecting the complexity of ancient Egyptian communication.D.the Rosetta Stone's origin from Egyptian quarries indicates that it was a unique artifact with no counterparts in other ancient civilizations.
