Question

Which line from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone is a clue that helps show the author’s attitude toward Thomas Young? Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed. Like the French scholars, Young focused first on the demotic section and compared it closely with the Greek passage. In the same line, and again in the fourteenth line, Young found the same symbols repeated, but with additions.
