read the excerpt from "The Rosetta Stone.”


Egyptian scripts were replaced with Coptic, which included six demotic characters. In the ninth century, Arab scholar Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn-Wahshiyah was able to partly decipher the hieroglyphs by comparing them to Coptic. But in the eleventh century, it too was replaced, by Arabic. The link was once again severed. For centuries, Western scholars tried to decipher the hieroglyphs, with little success. They were working under a false hypothesis, that the hieroglyphs were pictograms, with each symbol representing an object or an idea.

door, resolved either to bring the timorous visitor into the room in some way or at least to find out who was but the door was opened no
more that night and Gregor waited in vain. The previous morning while the doors were locked everyone had wanted to get in there to him, but
now, now that he had opened up one of the doors and the other had clearly been unlocked some time during the day, no one came, and the
keys were in the other sides.
It was not until late at night that the gasight in the living room was put out, and now it was easy to see that his parents and sister had stayed
awake all that time, as they all could be distinctly heard as they went away together on tip-toe. It was dear that no one would come into
Gregor's room any more until maming that gave him plenty of time to think undisturbed about how he would have to re-arrange his life. For
some reason, the tail empty room where he was forced to remain made him feet unensy as he lay there Mat on the floor, even though he had
been iving in it for five years. Hardly aware of what he was doing ather than a slight feeling of shame, he hurried under the couch. It pressed
down on his back a little and he was no longer able to at his head, but he nonetheless telt immediately at ease and his only regret was that his

1 Alexander Hamilton is the Founding Father pictured on the ten-dollar bill. Unlike George Washington (on quarters and dollar bills), or Thomas Jefferson (on nickels and two-dollar bills), Hamilton was never elected president. The two facts people most often recall about Hamilton are that he served as the first secretary of the treasury and that he was killed by Aaron Burr in a duel. He deserves more credit than those two facts suggest. His presence on the ten-dollar bill shows that he played a crucial role in the early years of our country.
2 Although many key figures from early history came from privileged backgrounds, Hamilton grew up in poverty in the West Indies. He was such a brilliant child that a kindly churchman arranged for his schooling in New York, where he attended King’s College, now Columbia University.
3 Hamilton first achieved distinction during the Revolutionary War. His abilities attracted the attention of George Washington, who appointed him an aide-de-camp and relied on him as a personal secretary and adviser. Later in the war, Hamilton resigned as aide to lead troops directly in battle.
4 Hamilton became a successful attorney and an important figure in New York and national politics after the war. His support for a strong central government helped bring about the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Hamilton was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers which defended the new Constitution. Appointed by Washington as secretary of the treasury, Hamilton’s fiscal policies ensured the stability of the new republic. His rivalry with Thomas Jefferson helped spark the rise of the political parties in the United States.
5 Even after Hamilton resigned his office, he remained influential on the national stage and in the New York politics. His opposition to another New York politician, Aaron Burr, led to the infamous duel and Hamilton’s untimely death.
The man who killed Alexander Hamilton will probably never appear on U.S. currency. Aaron Burr’s early career showed great promise. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, he was the son of a president of Princeton College and the grandson of a famous clergyman. At age 16, Burr graduated from Princeton. His pursuit of further studies was interrupted by the American Revolution. Burr distinguished himself on the field and briefly joined General Washington’s staff. However, Burr’s relationship with Washington was never close or easy, and the young hero returned to the battlefield, eventually leading a regiment.
7. After he left the army, Burr began a hugely successful legal career in New York, often crossing paths with Alexander Hamilton in social and professional settings. He became active in state politics and was elected to the U.S. Senate. Burr’s relationship with Hamilton turned unfriendly as the men assumed leadership of opposing political parties in New York. In the disputed presidential election of 1800, Hamilton’s role in ensuring that Burr was elected vice president rather than president increased the antagonism between the two men.
8 Burr reached the peak of his political career as vice president. After that, he was alienated from his own party. Aware that he would not be nominated again, he unsuccessfully ran for governor of New York. Burr blamed Hamilton for his political troubles. In July 1804, the U.S. vice president fatally wounded his rival in a duel.
9 Burr’s misfortunes and misconduct did not end with the duel. He became involved in a plot to detach the Louisiana Territory from the United States and apparently to crown himself emperor. He was tried for treason in 1807 but acquitted. In disgrace, Burr fled to Europe for four years. He returned to New York to practice law and died in penniless obscurity at the age of 80.

Which sentence from the passage MOST strongly supports the prediction that Burr will never appear on U.S. currency?

A.
Burr’s relationship with Hamilton turned unfriendly as the men assumed leadership of opposing political parties in New York.

B.
Burr reached the peak of his political career as vice president.

C.
Burr’s misfortunes and misconduct did not end with the duel.

D.
He became involved in a plot to detach the Louisiana Territory from the United States and apparently to crown himself emperor.
