Cognates are words from different languages that look similar and mean the same thing. These words are usually derived from and share the same etymological origin, which is an advantage if you're looking forward to learning a new language. For example, several words in other languages such as French and Spanish have similar appearances and meanings in English, with a few even having the same spelling.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The American Dream is the ideal by which equality of opportunity is available to any American, allowing the highest aspirations and goals to be achieved. I believe the American Dream is real and achievable, because no matter how small you start, you will be able to move higher and move closer to your goals in America through hard work. This is called social mobility which is the key part of the American dream, and it successfully allows it to happen. Many immigrants who were motivated by the American Dream to move to America have worked hard, and are now very successful so this shows that the American Dream is real. In many other countries, if you worked that hard many times nothing will happen. Another part of the American Dream is equality and freedom. In the present, America has a lot more freedom and equality than other countries. It has democracy that allows everyone to be heard, and anyone can do anything they want no matter what their race, gender, and ethnicity are. These are the key points of the American Dream and they are all happening so that is why I believe the American Dream is real.

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

A.) <em>The Germans often sent important messages concerning their war efforts to their ambassador in Washington, D.C.  </em>

Explanation:

In order to infer information from a text, such information has to be implied in it or at least there have to be enough hints for it in the text. In this excerpt there's no information that relates what is being stated with the ideas in options B, C, D. While for the idea in option A there's plenty of information available, even stating the cable was for communications between the germans and ther ambassador, therefore A is the correct answer.
