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.

which statement best explains how the evidence from this excerpt leads to the inference that the message zimmermann sent was important?

a.) because arthur zimmermann rarely sent telegrams to von bernstorff, the contents of the message had to be very important.
b.) because the message was so important and needed to reach von bernstorff, zimmermann wanted the message to be carried across the ocean in a u-boat.
c.) the telegram’s destination, washington, d. c., suggests that the contents of the telegram were important to the germans and the british.
d.) the route the telegram was to take, first to sweden and then to washington, d. c., supports the idea that the contents of the message were important.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
