General Clinton, concerned about what General Howe was planning and doing, made use of a mask to write a secret message in a let

ter to General Burgoyne.
Before writing the letter, Clinton had placed an hourglass-shaped mask on a piece of paper and then had formed the secret message within that shape.

The unmasked letter had enough false information in it to fool any American who happened to see it. But when Burgoyne viewed the letter with the mask, he read Clinton's view of the real situation: Howe has made a bad move; I don't have enough men to do anything about it.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to

describe a form of code writing using an example.
explain the mistakes of General Howe during the war.
entertain the reader with a humorous story of miscommunication.
argue that using a mask is the best method for sending secret messages.

Answer:

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to describe a form of code writing using an example.

Explanation:

In the text in question, the author describes how General Clinton inserted a secret message in a text apparently unrelated to the information that he wanted to convey. That is, through a real situation, he exemplifies how a secret message could be introduced that changed the course of history.

Reika [66]
9/11 had this impact on Farah and her mother as the terrorist attack created a distrust for those of different nationalities. Because people of the same religion as Farah (obviously in an extremist form) was the cause of thousands of deaths, many began to assume that anyone of the same religion and race would hold the same values, and, because of their relation of the terrorists alone, many unfairly assumed Farah and her mother were to blame.

Create, publish, become, be, come out, give, develop, have, find, test, offer, take.
igor_vitrenko [27]

After placing each verb in the correct blank and making the necessary changes to them, we have:

1. was developed

2. created

3. took

4. offered

5. was

6. published

7. became

8. came out

9. tested

10. found

11. gave

12. had

  • When we take a look at the text before trying to fill in the blanks, we can tell it is about things that happened in the past.
  • Thus, we can assume most verbs will be in the past tense or will use the past participle form.
  • To begin answering, we must read the text and look for places where one of the options sounds more obvious.
  • For example, when we talk of books, the verb "publish" is usually used. Since a manual is a book, we are likely to use "publish" with it.
  • We repeat that process, answering the easier ones first, until we are left with the least obvious blanks.
  • Here, we can try different combinations to see what fits - what sounds right.

Answer:

Poem down below!

Explanation:

Title: I wish.

She's got long, brown hair

Medium Hight

Dark brown eyes

And the energy of a lightning bolt

Friendly with so many people

Brave in so many ways

Bold with so many actions

Mature in so many ways

Caring with so many people

She travels around the world

And she has millions of money, independently

Wants to go to college to become a vet

Oh, I wish I was her.
