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:

The very purpose of the informational text, such as this, is to, well, obviously, inform us on certain topic. But, in order to be informed, we first must understand the text and be familiar with the used words.

Basically, the text is about private information protection, and that's, more or less, clear to everyone. However, the terms used to explain it are probably not as much.

So, first thing to do to fully understand this text is to ask what all of these words and expert terms mean. In other words, knowing what a RSA cipher is can be helpful, but knowing where to buy one is completely irrelevant to comprehending this excerpt, making the fifth option incorrect.

Write a paragraph that has an inverted triangle shape. The topic sentence should be, “Trees are helpful.” Include at least three

saw5 [17]

Trees are helpful perennial plants. They help combat climate change, clean the air, provide oxygen, cool the environment, and help prevent water pollution and soil erosion and a number of other benefits. Without trees, surviving life here on earth would be impossible. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the air. They can also absorb odors and harmful gases and pollutants in the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. They provide oxygen and have the capacity to cool the environment by bringing shades and releasing water vapor through their leaves. They help prevent water pollution, too, since they prevent rainfall from carrying pollutants to the ocean and other bodies of water. In preventing soil erosion, they have the capability to hold soil in place.
