Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a
reader understand the "League" mentioned in the first
sentence?
The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four
or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army,
utterly uriprepared for it. They had organized strikes in
the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a
single shop, but never before had they undertaken
something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be
laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John
Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew
this was the challenge they'd been hoping for their
chance to show the world they were more than highbrow
butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than
irresponsible little girls.
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the word "bowled" in the second
sentence to conclude that they are a bowling team.
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and "shirtwaist makers" in the last sentence
to realize they are the same group of women.
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the third sentence, which explains that
they "organized strikes in the garment trade."
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the "ILGWU men" in the last sentence to
note that they are both parts of the same group.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next

Read the quote from zimmermann in the code book. a future government could inherit a technology infrastructure that's optimized for surveillance, where they can watch the movements of their political opposition, every financial transaction, every communication, every bit of e-mail, every phone call. everything could be filtered and scanned and automatically recognized by voice recognition technology and transcribed. it's time for cryptography to step out of the shadows of spies and the military, and step into the sunshine and be embraced by the rest of us. which question does this paragraph answer? why does zimmermann think encryption is important? what kind of encryption did zimmermann invent? how does zimmermann’s encryption work? who made encryption based on zimmermann’s work?
