In 1998, a report by Wayne Madsen revealed that the
Swiss cryptographic company Crypto AG had built
backdoors into some of its products, and had provided
the U.S. Government with details of how to exploit
these backdoors. As a result, America was able to read
the communications of several countries. In 1991 the
assassins who killed Shahpour Bakhtiar, the exiled
former Iranian prime minister, were caught thanks to
the interception and backdoor decipherment of Iranian
messages encrypted using Crypto AG equipment.
O can help the government
O can be dangerous

Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answers.

The following passage is excerpted from a short story first published in 1878. The passage is set in France in 1429. Denis has entered a stranger’s house to avoid detection by approaching soldiers.

He found himself in a large apartment of polished stone. There were three doors; one on each of three sides; all similarly curtained with tapestry. The fourth side was occupied by two large windows and a great stone chimney-piece, carved with the arms of the Malétroits. Denis recognized the bearings1, and was gratified to find himself in such good hands. The room was strongly illuminated; but it contained little furniture except a heavy table and a chair or two, the hearth was innocent of fire, and the pavement was but sparsely strewn with rushes2 clearly many days old.

On a high chair beside the chimney, and directly facing Denis as he entered, sat a little old gentleman in a fur tippet.3 He sat with his legs crossed and his hands folded, and a cup of spiced wine stood by his elbow on a bracket on the wall. His countenance had a strongly masculine cast; not properly human, but such as we see in the bull, the goat, or the domestic boar; something equivocal and wheedling, something greedy, brutal, and dangerous. The upper lip was inordinately full, as though swollen by a blow or a toothache; and the smile, the peaked eyebrows, and the small, strong eyes were quaintly and almost comically evil in expression. Beautiful white hair hung straight all round his head, like a saint’s, and fell in a single curl upon the tippet. His beard and mustache were the pink of venerable sweetness. Age, probably in consequence of inordinate precautions, had left no mark upon his hands; and the Malétroit hand was famous. It would be difficult to imagine anything at once so fleshy and so delicate in design; the tapered, sensual fingers, were like those of one of Leonardo’s women; the fork of the thumb made a dimpled protuberance when closed; the nails were perfectly shaped, and of a dead, surprising whiteness. It rendered his aspect tenfold more redoubtable, that a man with hands like these should keep them devoutly folded like a virgin martyr—that a man with so intent and startling an expression of face should sit patiently on his seat and contemplate people with an unwinking stare, like a god, or a god’s statue. His quiescence4 seemed ironical and treacherous, it fitted so poorly with his looks.

Such was Alain, Sire de Malétroit.

Denis and he looked silently at each other for a second or two.

“Pray step in,” said the Sire de Malétroit. “I have been expecting you all the evening.”

In the first three sentences of the passage (“He found . . . Malétroits”), the details Denis observes upon entering the Sire de Malétroit’s residence combine to create a sense of
luxury appropriate to Malétroit’s privileged class

This shocked me because I did not know that Uncle Sahil almost had quit playing and that he still spent so much time practicing.

The beautiful music did not happen by accident and was the result of hard work.

I decided that I would spend more time practicing because I wanted to be able to play well, and for the next six months, I worked as hard as I could on my music.

I was pleased to find out that the harder I worked, the better I became.

Finally, I was ready to do something that I had dreamed about.

Uncle Sahil and I were going to play a duet together at my piano recital.

As we drove to the auditorium on the night of the recital, the stars winked encouragingly at me.

I smiled back at them and felt proud of what I had accomplished.
