Read the excerpt from the decree inscribed on the Rosetta Stone, which appears in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin. This decree shall be inscribed on a stela [slab] of hard stone in sacred [hieroglyphic] and native [demotic] and Greek characters and set up in each of the first, second, and third rank temples beside the image of the ever-living king. The purpose of the excerpt is to inform readers how to make inscriptions on hard stone. explain how the decree is to be used. entertain readers with a tale using Greek characters. persuade people to learn several languages.

The excerpt was not saying how it was used but it was saying how to make inscriptions on hard stone. ("Greek characters and set up in each of the first, second, and third rank temples beside the image of the ever-living king.")

The same goes for the last two options, it was not made to entertain and to persuade people / readers.
