read the passage and answer the given question below

The house I grew up in was crowded. I had to share a bedroom with my three brothers and two of my cousins. In total, there were 13 of us in the same house. And that made it feel like I was constantly surrounded.
During the fall, winter, and spring, I would leave the house for an even more crowded school. We had a minimum of 30 students in each class, and two students had to share a locker. Then, I’d catch a bus home with 60 other students. There was hardly a second in a day that I was not in a swarm of people, unfortunately. Being somewhat shy by nature, crowds did not agree with me.
That’s why I loved the summer so much. In summer, I did not have to go to school, and I also did not have to stay home. Instead, I could go out anywhere in the city and find time alone.
My brothers and cousins would usually go someplace to play with 10 or 11 other kids. Not me. My favorite place to go in the summer was the park. It would be crowded, of course, but I could always find a place to sit by myself.
I would enter the park from the west side and make my way as deep into it as I could get. There, in the middle of the park, I could always find a bench isolated from the others. Or a tree that was so shaded as to create a sort of nook for me to hide in. Or even a spot on the grass in the middle of a wide field but hundreds of feet away from the nearest person.
There, in those spots, I would get lost in the pages of a novel or book of poetry. It was in those summers that I first learned to love the written word. And I know that had I not been able to find that solitude in the middle of the bustling crowds, I would not be the man I am today. For I would not have ever discovered the joys of reading, and with them, the joys of writing.
To read is to connect with another person. And yet it is a connection one must make in private and isolation. So without isolation, ironically, for me there would have been no community.


1. Juxtaposition is defined as the placement of two concepts that are parallel to each other in order to highlight the contrast between the two of them. Which concepts does the narrator primarily juxtapose in the passage?

b) being surrounded by people and being alone
c) summertime and wintertime
d) the joys of reading and the joys of writing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Juxtaposition is meant to show a contrasting effect. Throughout the passage, the narrator shows that he is constantly surrounded by a crowd of people. However, he likes to spend his time alone and by himself.

This effort and completion of training is what makes the narrator very proud of himself and this moment, when he wins the race, is what determines that. In this case, we can see that the letter C is the correct answer option, as it coherently complements the paragraph and shows that this paragraph provides support for the body of the story, as it supports part of the training.

READ THE COMPREHENSION GIVEN BELOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTION...


the school principal is considering whether or not to open the study center before school starts. Below is an argument for why this should be done.
The school’s study center should be available for student use before school as well as in the afternoon. Some students are dropped off before school starts and must wait outside until the doors are unlocked. Instead, students could be studying in the center during that time. It certainly is safer inside the school than it is outside. Also, opening the center early would allow students to get out of the cold. Then students could have a little fun before school starts.



1. Which reason to open the center before school starts will be LEAST likely to convince the principal?

a) Students could study instead of just waiting outside.
b) Students would be safer inside than they are outside.
c) Students could have a little fun before school starts.

Describe how a significant cybersecurity event has led to increased organizational focus on cybersecurity.​

Answers

Answer:

A ‘Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2018’ revealed that over four in ten (43%) businesses and two in ten (19%) charities in the UK suffered a cyberattack. The survey found that 38% of small businesses had spent nothing at all to protect themselves from cybersecurity threats. A separate survey also found that a third of UK small businesses are risking their online safety by operating at or below the “security poverty line”. The most frequent types of cyber-criminal activity were sending fraudulent e-mails and impersonating organizations online. Malicious e-mails were also found to be the most common type of cyberattack in the Internet Security and Threat Report. The consequences of cyber-crime are costly as the total average cost of a data breach in 2019 is $3.92 million in research conducted by the Ponemon Institute.

Explanation:

What is Cybersecurity?  

Cybersecurity is making sure your organizations data is safe from attacks from both internal and external bad actors. It can encompass a body of technologies, processes, structures, and practices used to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from unauthorized access or damage. The goal of any cybersecurity strategy is to ensure confidentiality, data integrity, and availability.

There are several primary means by which cybersecurity issues can affect (or even destroy) an organization and its reputation. There is the risk that a hacker might obtain sensitive information such as bank account or credit cards details. There are open markets for such information on the “dark web”. If others access such sensitive information, the organization might find its banking or credit card facilities withdrawn or in breach of privacy laws. Each month high-profile security breaches impacting individual data are reported globally.

A second but related issue is that when a hacker obtains sensitive information about the organization it may find its reputation ruined. Few small organizations can survive the damage to its reputation that such lost data might cause. The damage to reputation and goodwill might be more crippling than the actual data loss itself. Loss of customer data may result in legal or regulatory action against the organization. A third party might file a suit against an organization as they have themselves incurred a loss. Organizations might also be subject to significant penalties and/or legal action arising from breaches of the privacy laws in many jurisdictions.

The most recent and alarming aspect of cybersecurity that causes considerable problems for organizations is ransomware. As early as 2012, reports of ransomware campaigns have adopted commercially focused business models. In many cases, a piece of malware is disguised and embedded within another type of document only waiting to be executed by the target user.  Upon execution, the malware may encrypt the organization’s data with a secret 2,048-bit encryption key or communicate to a centralized command and control server to await instructions carried out by the adversary. Once infected, the organization’s data continues to be inaccessible as the encrypts the data using the attackers encryption key. Once all the data accessible is encrypted, including in many instances the backup data and systems, the organization will be instructed on how to pay a ransom within days, or the adversary will remove the encryption key and the data will be lost. Literally, the adversary holds the data to ransom—hence, ransomware. The encryption key is sufficiently strong enough that cracking the key instead of paying the ransom is uneconomic—some estimate that an average desktop computer would take five quadrillion years to decrypt the data without the key In some cases, the target organization can hope that some researchers may have discovered a way to decrypt the data based on a design flaw. Otherwise the organization will have to look to restore the systems and data from a safe back up or consider paying the ransom. Keep in mind that even data restoration does not eliminate the risk the ransomware will not be reenabled or return based on the compromised integrity of the environment.

This is because, prior to the invasion, Ukraine had reported interference (hacking) of government and other websites caused by Russian Cybersecurity teams. The 21st century's advancement in technology and digital software and programs, the possibility of interference from any country is a real and high threat. Leaking of sensitive and highly classified information relating to the government or any high security operations/companies can and will put any country vulnerable, since so much information is stored digitally.
