Read the excerpt from the code book. just as whit diffie predicted in the early 1970s, we are now entering the information age, a postindustrial era in which information is the most valuable commodity. the exchange of digital information has become an integral part of our society. already, tens of millions of e-mails are sent each day, and electronic mail will soon become more popular than conventional mail. the internet, still in its infancy, has provided the infrastructure for the digital marketplace, and e-commerce is thriving. money is flowing through cyberspace, and it is estimated that every day half the world's gross domestic product travels through the society for worldwide interbank financial telecommunications network. in the future, democracies that favor referenda will begin to have on-line voting, and governments will use the internet to administer their countries, offering facilities such as on-line tax declarations. how does the evidence relate to the claim in the excerpt? the evidence shows how easy it is to file taxes online. the evidence shows how much we use digital information today. the evidence shows how digital information can easily be stolen. the evidence shows how many people prefer shopping online.

The correct option is the second one: The evidence shows how much we use digital information today.

Explanation:

The first option cannot be possible, as it hardly talks about it at the end of this excerpt, and only to give an example of how much we use digital information, to the point where we will even use the internet in the future to do taxes online. The third option cannot be possible as well, for it doesn’t mention anything about ‘stolen information’; and, the ’shopping online’ option isn’t possible either, as again, this option is only serving as an example of how much we use digital technology nowadays; it’s not relevant in this excerpt’s main point.  

realistic fiction depicts life and society in a true to life  manner.

its main characters are dynamic.

they grow and transform with their experiences, making it easier for readers to  relate to them.

this genre primarily focuses on the  daily struggles  of ordinary people, validating their experiences.

hope that ! : )

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
