**Select the simplest expression that is equivalent to**

\[
\frac{1}{\sec x - \tan x} + \frac{1}{\sec x + \tan x}
\]

**Options:**

- \( \circ \, 2 \csc^2 x \)
- \( \circ \, \frac{1}{1 - \cos^2 x} \)
- \( \circ \, 2 \csc x \cdot \cot x \)
- \( \circ \, 2 \sec x \)
- \( \circ \, -2 \cot x \cdot \csc x \)
- \( \circ \, 2 \)

**[Hint]**
