Question

Because of his accomplishments,

X scholars were able to trace the entire history of Egyptian writing.

Because Champollion gathered a lot of material during his trip to Egypt,

X his brother completed it for him.

Because Champollion died before he could finish his dictionary,

X he had a tremendous job of deciphering and organizing to do.

Because of Champollion's deciphering methods,
X he was named “Keeper of the Egyptian Collections.”

Answer 1

Here’s the correct matching of causes with their effects:

1. Because of his accomplishments, he was named “Keeper of the Egyptian Collections.”

2. Because Champollion gathered a lot of material during his trip to Egypt, his brother completed it for him.

3. Because Champollion died before he could finish his dictionary, X he had a tremendous job of deciphering and organizing to do. (This one seems a bit off, as it doesn’t exactly fit with the cause. A more fitting completion could be: “his work was left unfinished.”)

4. Because of Champollion's deciphering methods, scholars were able to trace the entire history of Egyptian writing.
