➧ The 1st text gap requires a verb used in Past Simple (Passado Simples) because the sentence refers to an action started and completed in the past (in this case, in the 19th century). So the full sentence is "Egyptian hieroglyphic remained undeciphered until the 19th century."(O hieróglifo egípcio permaneceu indecifrado até o século XIX.)
➧ ATTENTION: Note that only (A) and (B) are possible correct alternatives. Both suggest the verb REMAINED(permaneceu) which it is in the simple past form of the verb TO REMAIN (permanecer).
➧ LET'S GO AHEAD...
➧ The 2nd text gap requires a verb used in Past Simple (Passado Simples) because the sentence refers to an action started and completed in the past (in this case, in 1799). So the full sentence is "Members of Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition of 1799 discovered a black basalt stone"(Membros da expedição egípcia de Napoleão de 1799 descobriram uma pedra negra de basalto,)
➧ Note that the alternative (A) is correct because it suggests the verb DISCOVERED (descobriram) which is in the simple past form of the verb TO DISCOVER(descobrir).
➧ The Alternative (B) is discarded because it suggests the use of the verb had discovered which is an flexion of Past Perfect. Remember that the Past Perfect is used to indicate an action in the past that happened before another action in the past, which does not occur in the text above.
➧ The text with the gaps completed is:
"Egyptian hieroglyphic remained undeciphered until the 19th century. Members of Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition of 1799 discovered a black basalt stone, measuring 114 x 72 cm, at Rashid (Rosetta). The stone was carved with three different scripts: hieroglyphic, the derived demotic script, used for everyday purposes, and Greek.”

A pedra foi esculpida com três escritas diferentes: hieróglifo, a escrita demótica derivada, usada para fins cotidianos, e o grego.)
