Explanation:

To find the central idea in a text, ask yourself what is the main idea the author expresses?. For example, in the passage presented the author focuses on the system Major Tallmadge created and how this system was very elaborated or complex, which is shown through details such as "He substituted digits for words" or "Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher". Moreover, the author implicitly suggests this was used for Americans to send secret messages as he mentions important American military leaders such as "Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington" and shows how important was that the messages were only understood by few.

Answer:

4. the uninterrupted action mirrors how the orders will be carried out when the time comes.

Explanation:

From the excerpt above, one can read that Hemingway makes use of the phrase "when it will start." The pronoun "it" refers to a particular specific event that is of essential importantance and needs to be efficiently carried out as early as possible. The long sentence stricture in which the military action would take to set up for the event best reflects the style of "The uninterrupted action mirrors how the orders will be carried out when the time comes."
