Question

Using the drop-down menus, match each cause with its effect by choosing the phrase that completes each sentence.

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.**
