Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the meaning of "render" in the sentence, we analyze the context: the message is transformed into a secret code. "Translated" (option C) fits as converting the message to a code is like translating it. "Given" (A) and "provided" (D) don't relate to transformation. "Represented artistically" (B) is irrelevant here.

In the context, Zach's friends/family supported him when he doubted himself, implying moral support. "To give moral support and courage to" (B) matches. "Give approval" (A) is too mild, "provide money" (C) and "hold up a building" (D) are irrelevant.

The sentence says he performed duties to benefit his country, so "service" means work that benefits another (D). "Maintenance/repair" (A), "waiter’s duties" (B), and "military time" (C) don't fit the context of serving the country.

Answer:

C. translated
