Question 8 • United States History and Geography

Which is one advantage of using Navajo as a military code language?

Answer
A
Since it was widely known, allied forces could learn it easily.
B
Since it was simple, Americans could learn it easily.
C
Since few people understood it, it was a difficult code to break.
D
Since the Navajo spoke it, other American Indians would understand it.

Explanation

Navajo was spoken by relatively few people outside the Navajo community, so enemy forces were unlikely to understand it. This made messages encoded in Navajo difficult to intercept and break. The correct choice is “Since few people understood it, it was a difficult code to break.”
