The correct answer is number 2. It introduces the topic and hooks the audience.

<em>The main purpose of the first paragraph of the speech It introduces the topic and hooks the audience.  </em>

The Gettysburg address’ first paragraph, by Abraham Lincoln, introduces the topic and hooks the audience. The phrase that uses Lincoln is a biblical reference to “three score year and ten” which supposedly was the time humanity was supposed to live. Lincoln changed to “Four score and seven years ago…” to start its speech and catch people´s attention.

Answer:

It is called The Atbash Cipher

Explanation:

The Atbash cipher also known as Atbash code is a monoalphabetic substitution concept whereby the first letter of an alphabet system is replaced by the last letter. Take for example, in the English alphabet system, letter A would be written as "Z", letter B as "Y" while letter C becomes "X".

goldenfox [79]
When I was teaching through UCSC Extension, one of the students asked if I would meet her outside of class for intensive, one-on-one instruction in editing. I agreed. Turns out, she'd been recently hired as an editor by a major player in the industry, and she now found herself in over her head because, actually, she couldn't edit. Her background? She'd been a massage therapist who'd taken to computers when the desktop models first came out, and so she'd begun a small desktop publishing business. As she worked with the various pieces clients gave her, she began to make little corrections here and there. Soon, she was calling herself an editor. (After all, she was making changes in someone else's text, wasn't she?)
