Read the excerpt from "The Enigma Machine.”
Cryptologists looked for cribs, which are repeated expressions in messages. Sloppy operators would repeat phrases like "nothing to report" or "weather forecast" (Wettervorhersage), which served as clues. If there were no cribs to be found, the British would send out false information about, say, British mines planted in a given area. The Germans might then send messages with the name of that area, which would provide clues about deciphering that code.
Which is the meaning of the word cryptologists?
people who study weapons
people who study codes
people who study marine life
people who study ships

Which examples from "The Enigma Machine” are complex sentences? Check all that apply.
The importance of intercepting German communications became clear with the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram during World War I.
For example, Bletchley Park was crucial in the Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted six years.
The Enigma machine was invented at the end of World War I by German engineer Arthur Scherbius.
This was provided in a codebook, which was a monthly list of daily keys distributed to various networks in the German military.
Since the Enigma machine could encrypt text into over 150 trillion possible combinations, Germans were convinced the codes were not decipherable.

Read the excerpt from "Code Talkers.”
In World War I and World War II, American Indian soldiers played a critical role in the US military effort by using their native languages as the basis for creating successful codes.

These innovative and courageous soldiers developed for the United States Marine Corps a virtually unbreakable military code, which proved highly valuable against the Japanese during the Second World War.
Which words and phrases from this excerpt help create a tone of admiration (admire/respect/appreciate)? Select 3 options.

Read the excerpt from "The Rosetta Stone.”
Then chance stepped in. In 1798, Napoleon went to Egypt to protect its trade interests. In addition to an army, he brought along Egyptian scholars who were charged with copying the inscriptions and studying the architecture.
The following year, the French bolstered their defenses by rebuilding a fort in the town of Rosetta. In the midst of the fortification, the Rosetta Stone was discovered. Ironically, this large stone tablet was found not by one of the scholars but by a soldier. Luckily, he recognized that the inscriptions must have value. Militarily, Napoleon's Egyptian campaign was a disaster—the British decimated the French navy—but historically, it was of long-lasting importance.
Which best describes the structure of this excerpt?
problem and solution
chronological order
list form
compare and contrast
