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

However they obtained it, the Greeks couldn’t resist adding their own original "explanations" to the definitions. For example, a Greek writer named Horapollo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word "son." But then he explained that this was because geese took special care of their young, which was completely inaccurate. He wrote that the image of a rabbit meant "open" because a rabbit's eyes never close—an equally false statement.

Which phrase shows the author’s feelings about Horapollo’s ideas?

However they obtained it

it's probably "completely inaccurate"

The phrase that shows the author's feelings about Horapollo's ideas is "completely inaccurate". Even though the author points out some of the correct ideas of Horapollo, as the text continues he highligths the mistakes this writer falls into and how some of the statements he makes are wrong. In order to express that he believes Horapollo's ideas are not correct, the author uses phrases such as completely inaccurate and an equally false statement.
