(cable messages from europe to the united states traveled through transatlantic cables that passed deep in the english channel. the british saw the cables as an opportunity to gain access to secret diplomatic messages sent from berlin to its ambassador in washington, d. c. knowing they couldn't tap the cables the way they could tap phone lines, the british did the next best thing. the cable ship telconia cut all five of the cables that carried communications through the channel. to make sure that the sabotage had a lasting effect, the telconia rolled up a few of the cable ends on her drums and carried them to england. this act of sabotage was great britain's first offensive act of the war."


which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt?

a.)the germans often sent important messages concerning their war efforts to their ambassador in washington, d. c.
b.)although the british cut the underwater cables, the germans planned to lay new ones as quickly as possible.
c.)without the underwater cables, the germans had no way of communicating with their ambassadors.
d.)the german ambassador in washington, d. c. was unaware that the cables had been cut by the british

The first alternative is correct (A).

The text describes a war tactic used by the British in the context of World War II. In making inferences from this text, it is perfectly understandable that the Germans sent secret messages from Berlin to Washington. Among the alternatives, this is the only one that is clearly described in the text.

The other alternatives are lessons, which are not stated in the text and nothing can be said about them.

when alex falls for the charming new boy at school, cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her - she can't believe she's finally found her soul who truly loves and understands her.  

at first, alex is blissfully happy. sure, cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? as the months pass, though, alex can no longer ignore cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats.  

as alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.
