HELP QUICKLY IM BEING TIMED!!!

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.
Young made several mistakes. He thought the third hieroglyph was part of the one for "T," whereas it actually stood for
the vowel "O"." The fourth hieroglyph, the lion, meant just "L," the fifth meant “M," and the last hieroglyph stood simply
for "S." In other words, the spelling in Egyptian was "Ptolmis," not "Ptolemaios."

CHANGE IT UP

Step-by-step explanation:

The author feels like Thomas Young was a pioneer in the deciphering of hieroglyphs since he "got three out of seven symbols, which was a better score than any other scolar before him".

However, the author feels that Thomas Young was too confident in his assumptions, which caused him to fail in his task, and that he "put roadblocks in his own path".

Still, the author believes that Young's contribution was key to the final deciphering of the hieroglyphs, since he "laid a solid groundwork for others in their attempts to decipher the hieroglyphs".
