D-paragraph 9
This question has 2 parts:
Part A
How does the author support the idea that the Navajo soldiers were able to make a code related to war even though their language lacked words for it?
A-by showing how they mixed language and culture in the code.
B-by showing that they started by encoding 400 words.
C-by showing how they proved the Navy couldn't break the code.
D-by showing that they met several times to encode new terms.
Part B
Which two details from the article support the answer in Part A?
A-"...the business of their daily lives was conducted in their own language."
B-"...Navajo was the language least likely to be known to foreigners."
C-"...the Navajo soldiers rooted it, like their lives, in nature."
D-"Lotso, meaning 'whale', was the code word for "battleship'...."
E-"Marines spell out abbreviations with their own alphabet..."
"...remained behind to teach the code..."
Which of the following best supports the idea that the Navajo code was hard to crack?
A-"...the first letter of each word spelled out Mt. Suribachi."
B-"The Navajo Code Talkers were unique in cryptographic history."
C-"Even today, their code remains one of the few in history that was never broken."
D-"The Navjo language contained no words for the horrors of war."
What does the phrase "encoded a Navajo zoo" in paragraph 10 mean?
The Navajo's code was based on animal names.
The Navajo's code was based on a zoo.
The Navajo's code was based on the first letter of the animals in a zoo.
The Navajo's code was based on bird names.
The author says, "With just 400 words encoded, the Navajo put their cryptology to the acid test." What do you think the idiom "acid test" means?
to disprove that something is good or effective beyond a doubt.
to prove something doesn't work beyond a doubt.
to prove something is good or effective beyond a doubt.
to prove that the code doesn't work.
Where do the main ideas that Navajo Code Talkers helped win the war and that the code they developed was unbreakable develop?
in the details about the Navajo living on a reservation and they had no electricity or indoor plumbing, and only a few schools.
in the details about the Navajo men volunteering to fight.
in the details about the Navajo language containing no words for the horrors of war such as Bomber, battleship, grenade--- all were terms foreign to the Navajo.
in the details about the Navajo language not known to foreigners and the language was entirely oral and not written down so they developed a code using the language for the war and they would have never taken Iwo Jima without it.
