as a result of the cut cables, germany lost its most secure long-distance communications system. the germans now had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful wireless station at nauen, a few miles from berlin. which was exactly what the british military knew they would have to do. and once the germans began sending wireless messages, mi8, the british code breakers, began plucking them from the air. of course, all german correspondence was sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was when the hard work began for the code breakers of mi8.

which piece of textual evidence best supports the inference that the germans could not lay new cables in the waters of the english channel?

a. the germans now had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful wireless station at nauen, a few miles from berlin.

b. which was exactly what the british military knew they would have to do.

c. and once the germans began sending wireless messages, mi8, the british code breakers, began plucking them from the air.

d. of course, all german correspondence was sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was when the hard work began for the code breakers of mi8.

A.The Germans now had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful wireless station at Nauen, a few miles from Berlin.

Explanation:

Cabled message could also be ciphered. The British knowing what the Germans would have to do doesn't mean they wouldn't or couldn't do it. They started sending wireless messages, but why? You can find the clear answer to that in the first option. Since they had to rely on radio transmissions, it means they had no other option.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
