Reading the passage
We've already predicted the main point: online activity crosses borders in ways that make traditional, territory-based control difficult. We want a version of that idea that covers the enforcement, trademark, and privacy examples.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The global reach and huge volume of activity explain the problem; legal frameworks based on geographic boundaries are what the Internet challenges. This brings the examples together.
- B
We hear how the Internet makes government control harder, but not how it also promotes that power. That added claim isn't part of the central argument.
- C
Opposing a complete Internet shutdown isn't the same as opposing any regulation. The second paragraph predicts resistance to losing Internet access altogether. It doesn't establish this broader objection, and the final paragraph says some regulation is needed.
- D
Consumer fraud is one example, but we're never told that the Internet substantially increases the volume or severity of global crime. Mentioning a type of wrongdoing doesn't establish a crime trend.
- E
Difficulty regulating communications doesn't establish political instability within nations. That's a different consequence we aren't given.
