DISCUSSION: Lines 24-25 say that paper versions don’t show the date a message was received, or who received it.
Lines 27-30 say that the public has the right to review documents (including emails) that the government used to do its work.
Those are the only claims made by the opponents.
When answering this sort of question, don’t look at the answer choices until you’ve read the lines that mention the opponents (lines 24-30). Most of the wrong answers are pure nonsense that is never mentioned in those lines.
___________
- This is never mentioned.
- CORRECT. See lines 27-30. These opponents say the public has a right to see any documents the government produced when doing its work.
- Opponents don’t say this. The government does keep paper copies, so presumably they keep duplicates if the law so requires.
- We don’t know what any existing guidelines say. We only know that some proposed guidelines would allow the government to delete emails. (lines 18-20)
- There was no employee-supervisor controversy mentioned in the second paragraph. That only came in paragraph three, when the author talked about private offices.
