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.

The paragraph that provides the best variety in sentence patterns is B. my cousin the one who lives in Japan just sent me a text message she is excited about traveling and mentioned she would like to see various places including New York and the Grand Canyon.
In this paragraph, the use of compound and complex sentences make it more varied than the other options. In the first sentence, the word <em>who</em> introduces a dependent clause within the main clause that is <em>my cousin sent me a text message.</em> The second sentence is a compound sentence since it contains two Verbal phrases, <em>mentioned and would like to see</em>, joined by the connector <em>and. </em>
A - completely consumed her
