We must understand the connections between the climate
crisis and the afflictions of poverty, hunger, hiv-aids and
other pandemics. as these problems are linked, so too
must be their solutions. we must begin by making the
common rescue of the global environment the central
organizing principle of the world community
which idea does gore support by describing these problems?
o
a. optimism still reigns for the many global problems.
o
b. solutions are rare for problems of this dimension
o
c. climate crisis problems must take a back seat to other issues.
o
d. solutions to the climate crisis mean a solution to other problems.

Read the excerpt from the code book. without much hope of a theoretical breakthrough, cryptanalysts have been forced to look for a technological innovation. if there is no obvious way to reduce the number of steps required for factoring, then cryptanalysts need a technology that will perform these steps more quickly. silicon chips will continue to get faster as the years pass, doubling in speed roughly every eighteen months, but this is not enough to make a real impact on the speed of factoring—cryptanalysts require a technology that is billions of times faster than current computers. consequently, cryptanalysts are looking toward a radically new form of computer, the quantum computer. if scientists could build a quantum computer, it would be able to perform calculations with such enormous speed that it would make a modern supercomputer look like a broken abacus. the author’s purpose in this paragraph is to convince the readers to pursue a career in analysis. explain the need for faster technology in cryptanalysis. entertain with interesting stories about supercomputers. argue for more money to develop a quantum computer.
