Reading the passage
What does the writer actually think about interception? We get an explanation of the legal issues, not a clear statement that employers are right or employees are wrong. Don't supply our own reaction to the firing and mistake it for the writer's attitude.
Working the answers
- A
There is no outright condemnation of interception.
- B
The company won its case. Reporting that outcome doesn't mean the writer supports employers who monitor messages.
- C
The employees complained about a privacy violation, but the writer doesn't take their side. Their grievance is part of the example.
- DCorrect
The writer calls this a complicated legal issue, then explores the disputes and limits of existing protections. “Intellectual interest” fits that examination without adding support for either side.
- E
We aren't told that the people monitoring emails have bad motives. Describing their actions doesn't establish cynicism about why they act.
