Currently, Americans overseas must use paper ballots to vote. This can be frustrating since voters must rely on the postal services of many different countries. Officials thought the Internet would be faster and more reliable
than mail. The Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) was designed to test this idea, but
SERVE has faced skepticism since its origin. Some people felt the system might suffer from vulnerabilities to
hackers, allowing dishonest individuals to alter the potes. The Pentagon argued that SERVE included features to
ensure a safe and accurate vote. Cybersecurity experts, however, urged officials not to use the system.

A. Contradict

Explanation:

The Pentagon believes that using the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) is safe and secure and so encourages its use. Cybersecurity experts however, have an opposite opinion and believe that officials should not use the system.

The term used to describe a situation where the opinion of one party goes against that of the other is called a contradiction. A contradiction therefore exists here between what the Pentagon and Cybersecurity experts are saying.

ludwig van beethoven (/ˈlʊdvɪɡ væn ˈbeɪt(h)oʊvən/ (about this soundlisten); german: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn̩] (about this soundlisten); baptised 17 december 1770[1] – 26 march 1827) was a german composer and pianist. a crucial figure in the transition between the classical and romantic eras in classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers. his best-known compositions include 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass, the missa solemnis; and an opera,

fidelio. his career as a composer is conventionally divided into early, middle, and late periods; the "early" period is typically seen to last until 1802, the "middle" period from 1802 to 1812, and the "late" period from 1812 to his death in 1827.

beethoven was born in bonn, then the capital of the electorate of cologne and part of the holy roman empire. he displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father johann van beethoven and composer and conductor christian gottlob neefe. at the age of 21 he moved to vienna, where he began studying composition with joseph haydn and gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. he lived in vienna until his death.

by his late 20s his hearing began to deteriorate and by the last decade of his life he was almost completely deaf. in 1811 he gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works come from these last 15 years of his life, commonly known as his "late" period.
