The main noun in the given phrase is <em>Tower</em>, and this is why we could say that <em>Tower </em>is the noun modified by the underlined phrase.
Read the excerpt from The Code Book. The difference between ordinary and digital mail can be illustrated by imagining that Alice wants to send out invitations to her birthday party, and that Eve, who has not been invited, wants to know the time and place of the party. If Alice uses the traditional method of posting letters, then it is very difficult for Eve to intercept one of the invitations. . . . In comparison, Eve's task is made considerably easier if Alice sends her invitations by e-mail.
How does the author support the claim that ordinary and digital mail are very different?
by citing statistics about both kinds of mail
by offering quotes from experts on the subject
by relating a personal experience of both kinds of mail
by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject
Answer:
by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from The Code Book, the author talks about digital and ordinary mail and the advantages of each. He explains this by making a hypothetical scenario where Alice is sending out invitations via electronic mail and Eve who has not been invited wants to know the time and date, which would have been difficult if the invitation were sent through hand.
Therefore, the author supports the claim that ordinary and digital mail are very different by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject.
At the end of the story, he pretends to be an old man and he is patient and waits until the right opportunity to act.
