Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.

The Greek leader, Alexander the Great, had taken control of Egypt in 332 B.C., and after Alexander’s death in 323 B.C. his general, Ptolemy, replaced him. From then until 30 B.C., when Rome conquered Egypt, a long line of pharaohs from the Ptolemy family ruled the country. The Ptolemys kept their Greek culture, including their language, but they also respected the customs and religious beliefs of the native Egyptians.

The details in this excerpt serve as evidence for which fact?

Some of the Egyptian writings on the Rosetta Stone included hieroglyphs.
The inscription on the Rosetta Stone was the same in all three languages.
One of the three inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone was written in Greek.
French soldiers discovered the Rosetta Stone while tearing down an old fort.

Answer:

One of the three inscriptions was written in Greek.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rosetta Stone was the key to deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphs because it was written in three languages. The part of the content written in Ancient Greek was easily readable since language is well-known by scholars.

The Stone also included two forms of Ancient Egyptian, demotic script and hieroglyphics. Thanks to the provided translation, the hieroglyphic form of writing was deciphered.
