DISCUSSION: The author gives us an overview of several issues related to email privacy. The issue is unsettled.
The author never says what we should do. The passage is just a neutral description of a current legal issue.
(Don’t get confused by the phrase “the only solution” on lines 53-54. The author is just saying that encryption is the only solution for users who want absolute privacy.)
___________
- The author never said we should scramble email. They said it’s the only way to guarantee privacy.
Also, this answer leaves out the debate over government email. - The author never said if we should extend phone privacy to email. And an individual certainly shouldn’t treat an email conversation as private, because it isn’t.
- Public sector business? Paragraph two just mentioned a government office, not necessarily a business. This is enough to eliminate this answer.
The author gave government and business as examples, but never drew a distinction between them.
- CORRECT. The author spent the entire passage explaining some of the debate around email privacy. This best sums everything up: the issue is unsettled.
- The author never said whether any supervisor should be allowed to monitor email.
