Question

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

As a result of the cut cables, Germany lost its most
secure long-distance communications system. The
Germans now had to rely on radio transmissions
from their powerful wireless station at Nauen, a few
miles from Berlin. Which was exactly what the British
military knew they would have to do. And once the
Germans began sending wireless messages, MI8,
the British code breakers, began plucking them from
the air. Of course, all German correspondence was
sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was
when the hard work began for the code breakers of
MI8
Which type of structure is used in the text?
O problem and solution
O cause and effect
O chronological
O comparison and contrast

Answer 1

The structure used in the text is cause and effect. The text describes how the cut cables caused Germany to lose its most secure long-distance communications system, and as a result, they had to rely on radio transmissions, which the British code breakers were able to intercept. The cause (cut cables) led to the effect (reliance on radio transmissions and subsequent interception of messages by code breakers).
