The answer is:

B) It makes readers more comfortable with the idea of reading the essay if they can view it as if it were their own words.

The author tries to convince the reader that this philosiphy can be made their own if the coat fits... searching for the reader to think that he shares this kind of thought and it will be easier for the reader to adopt that way of thinking.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A: Positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.

Explanation:

Throughout the passage, Giblin speaks of Young's accomplishments with high praise (never in a negative way, like answers C & D suggest). B is also incorrect because Giblin does not <em>only</em> focus on Young's ability to learn new languages, he speaks of other things as well.

Therefore, option A is correct - Giblin shows a positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.
