Answer:

E) II and III only

<h2>Explanation of II</h2>

The chunk of code given in II uses an array a and a variable t which is called temporary variable and it holds the value of some other variable or an array element temporarily.

So the first line of the code int t=a[0] the temporary variable t holds the current value of the array a i.e the array element at first index of the array a[0] is copied to variable t.  This variable t is used to hold the original value of a[0] so that if the value of a[0] is overwritten later, it wont lose its original value.

a[0]=a[1] This line of code stores the value of a[1] in a[0]. This means that a[0] holds the array element at next index a[1] . This means the original value of a[0] is no longer the same because now it contains the value of a[1].  

The next line a[1]=t. This means that now a[1] holds the value which was stored in variable t. As the variable t was used to store the original value of a[0]. So that value is now stored in a[1].

Lets take an example: array a contains the two elements 1  at a[0] and 2 at a[1] position.

So according to the first statement

t=a[0] means that t holds value of array a at 0 index. We have 1 at 0th index of array so t=1

Next statement a[0]=a[1] means the value at a[1] is copied to a[0]

So at a[1] the value is 2. So this value 2 is stored in a[0] position in the array.

The last statement a[1]=t means now the value stored in t is copied to a[1]

As t stored the value of a[0] which was array element 1 so now this array element is copied to a[1]th position of the array. So a[1] holds 1 now.

This is how the elements 1 and 2 are swapped as now a[0] holds 2 and a[1] holds 1.

<h2>Explanation for III</h2>

Suppose that a[0]=1 and a[1]=2

The first statement a[ 0 ] = a[ 0 ] - a[ 1 ]; means that the value at a[0] is subtracted by the value at a[1]. That means 1-2 as 1 is the array element at a[0] and 2 is the array element at a[1] so 1-2=-1 This value is now stored at a[0] th position of array.  Now a[0]=-1 and a[1]=2

Next statement a[ 1 ] = a[ 0 ] + a[ 1 ];  means adding array element at a[0] and a[1] and the result of this addition is stored in a[1]. As a[0] is -1 and a[1] is 2 So a[0]+a[1]= -1+2=1 So a[1]=1 This means 1 will be placed at a[1] th position of array a. Now a[0]=-1 and a[1]=1

Note that a[1] now holds the value 1 which was the original value of a[0]  in start. This is because the first statement of code subtracts value a[1] from value of a[0] and then adds back value of a[1] to value of a[0] to keep the original value of a[0] safe for swapping just like in II the original value of a[0] is kept by temporary variable t.

The last line a[ 0 ] = a[ 1 ] - a[ 0 ]; means subtracting value at a[0] from value in a[1]. As we know that a[0]=-1 and a[1]=1 So a[0]=a[1]-a[0]=1+1=2 So a[0]=2.

Note that a[0] now holds the value 2 which was the original value of a[1]  in start. In the statement a[ 1 ] = a[ 0 ] + a[ 1 ] the value of a[0] is added to a[1] to get new value of a[1] and in statement a[ 0 ] = a[ 1 ] - a[ 0 ]; the value of a[0] is subtracted from that of a[1] in order to get previous original value of a[1]. So in the end a[0]=2 and a[1]=1 This is how the two value are swapped.

Explanation of I being false:

The line of code a[0] = a[1]; copies the value of a[1] to a[0]

This means the original value at a[0] is changed. This is called to overwrite the value. It is required to exchange values of elements in a[0] and a[1]. In order to swap two elements their original values should be retained but in this statement overwrites the original value in a[0]. So I is wrong.

What makes the huns a formidable force for the roman empire?
Maurinko [17]
<span>The Huns were a formidable force to fight. They were able to eat most food without problem which removes the needs for supply trains and such and encourages pillaging. Another reason is that their a cavalry based army which completely decimated roman military since the roman empire consist of flat land and they could outflank, outrun, and could whittle down an army with ease. They also are nomads which means you don't know where they're living and so you can't be on the attack which also gave an advantage. This points that the Huns are a force to be reckon with.</span>

This is not a good solution

Explanation:

Your web browser uses port 80 outgoing to make web requests, so if you’re blocking incoming port 80, all you’re blocking is users of the organization from connecting to the internet.
