"It's O.K., Father, we just want him to have plenty of water."

General Clinton, concerned about what General Howe was planning and doing, made use of a mask to write a secret message in a letter to General Burgoyne.
Before writing the letter, Clinton had placed an hourglass-shaped mask on a piece of paper and then had formed the secret message within that shape.
The unmasked letter had enough false information in it to fool any American who happened to see it. But when Burgoyne viewed the letter with the mask, he read Clinton's view of the real situation: Howe has made a bad move; I don't have enough men to do anything about it.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to
describe a form of code writing using an example.
explain the mistakes of General Howe during the war.
entertain the reader with a humorous story of miscommunication.
argue that using a mask is the best method for sending secret messages.
Answer:
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to describe a form of code writing using an example.
In the text in question, the author describes how General Clinton inserted a secret message in a text apparently unrelated to the information that he wanted to convey. That is, through a real situation, he exemplifies how a secret message could be introduced that changed the course of history.
You often get phone calls,______?
question tag
Answer:
aren't you?
Explanation:
Form
auxiliary verb + subject
We use the same auxiliary verb in the tag as in the main sentence. If there is no auxiliary verb in the main sentence, we use do in the tag.
You live in Spain, don’t you?
If the auxiliary verb in the sentence is affirmative, the tag is negative.
You’re Spanish, aren’t you?
If the auxiliary verb in the sentence is negative, the tag is affirmative.
You’re not Spanish, are you?
Meaning
We use tag questions to confirm or check information or ask for agreement.
You want to come with me, don’t you?
You can swim, can’t you?
You don’t know where the boss is, do you?
This meal is horrible, isn’t it?
That film was fantastic, wasn’t it?
We use tag questions to check whether something is true.
The meeting’s tomorrow at 9am, isn’t it?
You won’t go without me, will you?
Additional points
In the present form of be: In an affirmative statement, if the subject is “I”, the auxiliary changes to aren’t in the tag.
I’m sitting next to you, aren’t I?
I’m a little red, aren’t I?
With let’s, the tag is shall we?
Let’s go to the beach, shall we?
Let’s have a coffee, shall we?
With an imperative, the tag is will you?
Close the window, will you?
Hold this, will you?
We use an affirmative tag after a sentence containing a negative word such as never, hardly, nobody.
Nobody lives in this house, do they?
You’ve never liked me, have you?
When the subject is nothing, we use “it” in the tag.
Nothing bad happened, did it?
Nothing ever happens, does it?
If the subject is nobody, somebody, everybody, no one, someone or everyone, we use “they” in the tag.
Nobody asked for me, did they?
Nobody lives here, do they?
If the main verb in the sentence is have (not an auxiliary verb), it is more common to use do in the tag.
You have a Ferrari, don’t you?
She had a great time, didn’t she?
With used to, we use “didn’t” in the tag.
You used to work here, didn’t you?
He used to have long hair, didn’t he?
We can use affirmative tags after affirmative sentences to express a reaction such as surprise or interest.
You’re moving to Brazil, are you?
Pronunciation
If we don’t know the answer, it is a real question and we use a rising intonation with the tag.
You don’t know where the boss is, do you? ↗
If we know the answer and are just confirming the information a falling intonation is used with the tag.
That film was fantastic, wasn’t it? ↘

New Hart’s Rules is the updated edition of Hart’s Rules for Compositors and Editors, a style guide published by the Oxford University Press. Hart’s Rules began as a single sheet of paper drawn up by university printer Horace Hart in 1893, but over the years it’s morphed into a tightly-written comprehensive guide to punctuation and style. It will not teach you how to write, or how to understand English, but if you don’t know what the right thing is to do, it will help you out. (It’s sometimes available with the Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors as the Oxford Style Manual, but I find the Manual a bit unwieldy and prefer them in separate volumes.)

Which key details does Orwell include to support the central idea that Snowball uses his language skills to manipulate the other animals
Answer:
B). "After much thought Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could in effect be reduced to a single maxim, namely: 'Four legs good, two legs bad.'"
C). "A bird's wing, comrades,' he said, 'is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.'"
D). "The birds did not understand Snowball's long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to learn the new maxim by heart."
E). "When they had once got it by heart, the sheep developed a great liking for this maxim, and often as they lay in the field they would all start bleating 'Four legs good, two legs bad!'"
Explanation:
In the context of the novel 'Animal Farm' authored by George Orwell, the above statement reflects Snowball's use of his linguistic skills to influence other animals at the farm.
As the novel aims to satirize the Russian Revolution and comment upon the brutality, exploitation, and incompetence of the Stalin government. Orwell establishes Snowball as the representative of a white man('Leon Trotsky who was an intellectual theorist, leader, and revolutionary') in opposition to Stalin. The above excerpts show how he uses his communications skills to influence other animals at the farm in order to establish a separate authority of their own. Hence, options B, C, D, and E are the correct options.

in what way do you think overseas commitment " influence the rise and fall of nations in Europe
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
The way I think overseas commitment influenced the rise and fall of nations in Europe is the following.
Powerful European nations started to navigate the oceans since the so-called Age of Exploration. Prince Henry of Portugal was one of the first to build a powerful navy to explore and conquer in the name of his nation. Other European monarchies followed through, as was the case of Spain, France, and Great Britain.
They got inspiration from the "Three Gs" that are often used to summarize the motivation for European exploration are Gold, God, and Glory.
The age of exploration had European nations more power due to the discovery of new territories and the colonization of those territories. They discovered new lands where raw materials and natural resources abounded. So the three "G's" that motivated that explorations were Gold, the monarchy knew that many territories had plenty of gold and the crowns wanted that god to increase their wealthiness. God, they tough that they had to evangelize the natives Indians of that far lands to make them Christians. Ang Glory, to get supremacy over other European nations that were also competing for new territories.
