Read the excerpt from The Dark Game: True Spy Stories from Invisible Ink to CIA Moles.
<em>[T]he Germans committed some blunders in the way they sent their secret radio messages, giving the British help in their task. The first mistake of German intelligence was the error of arrogance, believing that the British were not up to the challenge of deciphering their messages. Another mistake they made was sending duplicates and even triplicates of some of their messages, with each one using a different cipher key.</em>

A. Literary Movement
A literary movement is used to describe a trend in literature that is characterised by the shared assumptions, beliefs and practices of an influential group of writers. A literary movement consists of pieces of literary work from different authors but usually in the same era. They are all considered as a part of one literary movement because of similarity in ideas.
All persons, yes all persons
Can you hear me beyond all those commotions
Held as slaves within any State, yes held captive
Must be given the right to freely live.
This freedom, oh for so long has been deprived
Will make such persons finally be revived
Let no one hinder, no one repress
Such people of their liberty possess.
But you, oh people now set free
Must all violence never agree
Let labor be your source of gladness now
Cause your wage you’ll receive, I vow.
As freed men you shall be
Serving fellowmen and country see
Freely you receive so freely give
Freedom that you long to have, enjoy and live.

The opinion about the Russian society that Leo Tolstoy expresses in this excerpt from The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the following one:
<span>D. Peasants more readily accepted unpleasant facts of life, while the middle class tried to deny them.
We can see that Ivan's servant is with him all along during his sickness, helping him and understanding what is going on, whereas people who belong to the middle or upper class regard his condition with disgust. </span>
