Read the excerpt from The Dark Game. Cable messages from Europe to the United States traveled through transatlantic cables that
passed deep in the English Channel. The British saw the cables as an opportunity to gain access to secret diplomatic messages sent from Berlin to its ambassador in Washington, D.C. Knowing they couldn't tap the cables the way they could tap phone lines, the British did the next best thing. The cable ship Telconia cut all five of the cables that carried communications through the channel. To make sure that the sabotage had a lasting effect, the Telconia rolled up a few of the cable ends on her drums and carried them to England. This act of sabotage was Great Britain's first offensive act of the war. Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt

Explanation: The excerpt narrates how was the first offensive action of the war on behalf of Great Britain. It tells how they saw the transatlantic cables that went from Berlin to the United States as an opportunity to know classified information, and how they deliberately made Germany know that war was on its way. The reader can infer then, that Great Britain was the one who formally started everything.
