Read the excerpt from The Code Book. By this stage, sending a PGP encrypted message is becoming quite complicated. The IDEA cipher is being used to encrypt the message, RSA is being used to encrypt the IDEA key, and another stage of encryption has to be incorporated if a digital signature is required. However, Zimmermann developed his product in such a way that it would do everything automatically, so that Alice and Bob would not have to worry about the mathematics. To send a message to Bob, Alice would simply write her e-mail and select the PGP option from a menu on her computer screen. Next she would type in Bob's name, then PGP would find Bob's public key and automatically perform all the encryption. At the same time PGP would do the necessary jiggery-pokery required to digitally sign the message. Upon receiving the encrypted message, Bob would select the PGP option, and PGP would decrypt the message and verify the author. Nothing in PGP was original—Diffie and Hellman had already thought of digital signatures and other cryptographers had used a combination of symmetric and asymmetric ciphers to speed up encryption—but Zimmermann was the first to put everything together in one easy-to-use encryption product, which was efficient enough to run on a moderately sized personal computer.

Which fact most effectively supports the claim that PGP can be used by an ordinary person?

PGP is used to encrypt digital messages.
PGP is based on complicated mathematics.
PGP incorporates a digital signature.
PGP works efficiently on a personal computer.

Plz hurry the graph below shows the distances, in miles, that a dragonfly can travel in a certain number of hours: a graph titled motion of a dragonfly shows time in hours on the x axis and distance in miles on the y axis. the scale on the x axis shows number from 0 to 10 at increments of 2 and on the y axis the numbers are shown from 0 to 250 at increments of 50. a straight line joins the ordered pairs 0, 0 and 2, 50 and 4, 100 and 6, 150 based on the graph, what is the dependent variable, the equation relating the two variables, and how far will the dragonfly travel in 24 hours if it continues to fly at the same speed?
