3. Read the selections below from the story.
"Can't we turn off the system?" Victoria winced as she held up her hand, the star was nov
crimson and quite painful.
Mrs. Dalyrimple-Jones shook her head. "The system has malfunctioned, or it has been
sabotaged by a previous Actuarian. That was my predecessor's theory."
Which phrase from the selections help to explain the meaning of the word "predecessor"?
(A)the system
(B)quite painful
(C)had been sabotaged
(D)previous Actuarian

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) previous Actuarian.

Explanation:

The word "predecessor" refers to someone who comes before the present or current one. In other words, the person who came before us, be it in a job or any work is the predecessor.

In the given context, the phrase "previous Actuarian" helps us understand the meaning of "predecessor". This is because the word "pre" is present in both "predecessor" and "previous", referring to the prefix "pre" which means "before".

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

the code book To improve understanding of the excerpt, which questions are best to ask? Select 5 options.

Answers

The excerpt from 'The Code Book' is:

However, the success of the Information Age depends on the ability to protect information as it flows around the world, and this relies on the power of cryptography. Encryption can be seen as providing the locks and keys of the Information Age. For two thousand years encryption has been of importance only to governments and the military, but today it also has a role to play in facilitating business, and tomorrow ordinary people will rely on cryptography in order to protect their privacy. Fortunately, just as the Information Age is taking off, we have access to extraordinarily strong encryption. The development of public-key cryptography, particularly the RSA cipher, has given today's cryptographers a clear advantage in their continual power struggle against cryptanalysts, and RSA encryption is therefore effectively unbreakable. Most important of all, public-key cryptography is not weakened by any key distribution problems. In short, RSA guarantees almost unbreakable locks for our most precious pieces of information.

Answer:

- What does "encryption" mean?

- What is "public-key cryptography"?

- What kind of encryption was available a long time ago?

- What are "key distribution problems"?

- What are "cryptanalysts"?

Explanation:

'Asking questions' is characterized as one of the effective techniques for better comprehension as it allows the readers to involve themselves completely and think clearly, monitor the key ideas elaborated, the purpose of the text, develop associations between the ideas, predict upcoming events better, and understand it effectively.

In the given excerpt, asking the above questions like 'meaning of encryption,' 'public key cryptography,' 'type of encryption used previously,' etc. would not only assists one in finding out the meaning of the text but also in promoting their thinking, as well as, observing their understanding. This will further allow them understand the author's purpose and relate to it.

In Animal Farm, what does Squealer say will happen if the animals continue to have Sunday morning debates?
Napoleon will make the animals work harder.
Mr. Jones will come back to rule the farm.
O The animals will have to build a windmill.
O Snowball will return and make bad decisions.

Answers

Answer:

O Mr. Jones will come back to rule the farm.

Explanation:

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" revolves around the story of animals on a farm revolting against their human masters. The story deals with themes of power, autonomy, corruption of ideas, totalitarianism, etc.

In Chapter V, Squealer announced that there will no longer be the regular Sunday debates, except "to salute the flag, sing 'Beasts of England', and receive their orders for the week; but there would be no more debates." He then continued to threaten them with dire consequences if the debates are done again, telling them or rather asking them "Surely, comrades, you do not want Jones back?"

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Answer:

Plato said that artist and poet imitate nature whereas Aristotle is against this statement.

Explanation:

Plato said that artist and poet imitate nature through his art or in other words a work of art is a reflection of nature while on the other hand, Aristotle argues that a work of art does not imitate nature as it is or in other words a work of art is not a true reflection of nature. According to Plato, art has a positive effect whereas Aristotle says that art have no effect on our personality or life. Watching violence in films can greatly changed the personality of our children  because these violence can change the mindset and incorporate aggressive behaviour in our child's personality so watching violence is not good for our children.

What is the subordinate clause in this sentence: before Raffi in Disney appeared, English and American children were learning Mother Goose rhymes.

Answers

Answer:

"Before Raffi in Disney appeared,"

Explanation:

Subordinate clauses are the clauses that are dependent and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. They are included in a sentence to complement the other words in the sentence, adding meaning to the whole unit.

In the given sentence, the subordinate clause is "before Raffi in Disney appeared". This is evident with the use of the word "before" which is a dependent clause. This allows the dependent clause to be part of the whole sentence structure but cannot stand as a complete sentence on its own.

Thus, the subordinate clause is "Before Raffi in Disney appeared."
