Explanation:i did the quiz
The statement which accurately describes a cause-and-effect relationship described in this excerpt is:
C. Because the French soldiers are tearing down a ruined wall in a fort, they discover the Rosetta Stone.
- A relationship of cause and effect implies that we have two events. One event is the consequence of the other or, if we invert the reasoning, one event causes the other.
- In the paragraph, we do not know the relationship between Napoleon's departure and the French army's decision to stay. The author does not make it clear.
- However, the relationship between the discovery of the stone and the wall in a fort is made clear in the following excerpt:
". . . the stone had been unearthed in an old fort neat the town of Rosetta. . . French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab."
- Thus, the relationship is clear: 1. the tearing down of the wall. 2. coming across the stone.
- In conclusion, finding the stone is the consequence of tearing down the wall. Tearing down the wall is the cause of finding the stone. Letter C is the correct option.
