Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster." James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it,

his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted. Which statement is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt? Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink. James Jay was widely considered a hero for his invention. Both the British and the Americans used James Jay’s invisible ink. Washington helped James Jay develop the two-bottle system.

Answer:

The statement which is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt is:

A. Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink.

Explanation:

<u>According to the excerpt, James Jay's invisible ink would "elude the generally known means of detection." What was that means? Heating, as is stated right before the sentence. Heating was so well know that Jay was sure the enemy would try to use it to reveal the writings in the messages. However, his new ink would not appear with heating. It needed another chemical to be made visible.</u>

We can easily eliminate the other options. The excerpt does not give us enough information to infer that Jay was seen as a hero. At no point does the passage lead us to understand that the British also had access to the ink. Finally, the excerpt does not at all say that Washington helped develop the new invisible ink.

What is one of the main purposes of the first paragraph of a cover letter?
____ [38]

One of the main purposes of the first paragraph of a cover letter is to preview the reasons that you're a great fit for the job. Usually, the details of yourself and your experience come into the later paragraphs. The job interviewer usually wants a short, to the point paragraph about you at first before he or she jumps into the details. Hope this helps :))

What is the uriel in the story wrinkle in time?
melomori [17]

In a nutshell, Uriel is a fictional planet in Madeleine L'Engle's sci-fi/fantasy book A Wrinkle in Time… 'the third planet of the star Malak in the spiral nebula Messier 101,' to quote the book exactly. It is a beautiful and peaceful planet, inhabited by beautiful and peaceful creatures.

On the way to rescue Dr. Murry, Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin make a pit stop on Uriel. The purpose for this pit stop, according to Mrs. Whatsit, is 'more or less to catch our breaths. And to give you (the children) a chance to know what you're up against.'

To fully understand this planet and its role in the story, a little background knowledge is important.
