Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

In the next few years following the publication of his book, Champollion deciphered many more hieroglyphs. He was named "Keeper of the Egyptian Collections" in Paris in recognition of his accomplishments. Then, in 1829, he got what he had always wanted. With the backing of the French government, he journeyed to Egypt to see the ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions for himself.

What inference can readers make based on the details in the excerpt?

Only the French recognized Champollion for his accomplishments in deciphering hieroglyphics.
The French government considered Champollion’s work to be a significant achievement.
Champollion published a book just so he could take a free trip to Egypt.
Champollion had to see the hieroglyphics in person to be able to write about them.
