Answer:
The verb tense that describes something existing or happening before a specific time in the future is future perfect.
Explanation:
The future perfect is made up of the simple future of the verb to have (will have) together with the past participle of the main verb. This tense is used to talk about an action that will be completed between the present time and some point in the future, before a specific given time.
The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.
Which central idea is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt?
A. All members of the Culper Ring received a copy of Tallmadge’s code.
B. A cipher was a common instrument used during the American Revolution.
C. Words that did not have a number code could not be used in secret messages.
D. General Washington could read messages written in Tallmadge’s code.
