At the top are fourteen lines of hieroglyphs – pictures of animals, birds, and geometric shapes. Below them you can make out thirty-two lines written in an unfamiliar script. And below that, at the bottom of the slab, are fifty-four more lines written in the letters of the Greek alphabet. Which thesis best fits into Hakeim’s essay? To have an appreciation for the Rosetta Stone, it is important to view the artifact up close.

Step-by-step explanation:

A thesis statement must communicate the central idea or claim of the essay or any other literary work. It asserts the primary claim or argument of the essay that surrounds the work at the very introductory section of the essay as the rest of the essay is devoted to explain and justify the claim proposed with adequate evidences and counterclaims.

In the given question, option C would best fit as the thesis for Hakeim's essay as it reveals the main idea of the essay 'how the Rosetta Stone shows carved data which is crucial to understand the ancient writings'. This is the dominating idea of the essay as reflected by the description like 'top...fourteen lines.....alphabet'. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
