Read the excerpt from the dark game.
on january 16, 1917, in a clear attempt to convince the mexican government to germany in the war, arthur zimmermann, the german foreign secretary, sent a telegram to count von bernstorff, the german ambassador in washington. the foreign secretary wanted to be certain that this message reached von bernstorff, so he made arrangements for it to be carried aboard a u-boat to sweden and from there to washington through diplomatic channels.
as luck would have it, the departure of the sub was delayed. impatient, zimmermann turned to his second option: sending the message to his ambassador through the u.s. state department. although wilson considered the united states to be neutral, he allowed messages to be sent to von bernstorff via the state department as a courtesy. the telegram sent, zimmermann waited for a reply. what zimmermann didn't know was that the british were doing a thorough job of intercepting german wireless transmissions.
why did zimmermann choose to send the message through the u.s. state department?
a: the german u-boat was grounded because it needed repairs.
b: the americans planned to enter the war and side with the germans.
c; the content of the message was extraordinarily important.
d: the safest way of transmitting messages was by telegram.

Ответ:
C: The content of the message was extraordinarily important is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Letter A is incorrect: even though there was a delay in the departure, it is not specified if the sub needed repairs.
Letter B is also incorrect since the passage doesn't specify nor focus on the U.S. side, it only mentions that the country was neutral.
D is also incorrect because at the end of the passage, it is seen that telegram transmissions could be intercepted.
On the other hand, letter C is correct because the passage reinforces the idea of the urgency and how important the telegram was.
Ответ:
Daedalus is a brilliant inventor—the Thomas Edison of his day. Unfortunately, he angers King Minos, the ruler of the island Crete, and he has to hightail it out of there. Desperate to flee the island, Daedalus uses wax to build some wings for himself and his son Icarus. Daddy Daedalus warns his son to fly at a middle height: the seawater will dampen the wings and the sun will melt them. (Not good either way.)
Icarus heeds his father's advice for a bit, but then he gets cocky. He's having so much fun flying that he forgets the warning and flies too close to the sun. Sure enough, his wings melt, and Icarus plummets into the sea and drowns. Daedalus is (of course) devastated by his son's death, but the show must go on. He flies on to Sicily, where he mourns Icarus and builds a temple in honor of the god Apollo.
