Which statement best explains how the evidence from this

excerpt leads to the inference that the message

Zimmermann sent was important?

von Bernstorff, the contents of the message had to be

very important

O Because the message was so important and needed to

reach von Bernstorff, Zimmermann wanted the message

to be carried a s the ocean in a U-boat.

that the contents of the telegram were important to the

Germans and the British.

then to Washington, D.C. supports the idea that the

contents of the message were important.
