Reading the passage

The fourth paragraph introduces privacy after we've already discussed enforcement and trademarks. The particular issue changes, but the larger point stays the same: territorial legal systems struggle with activity that crosses borders. This is one more reason to accept the opening claim.

Working the answers

  • A

    The privacy example doesn't undermine the enforcement problem in paragraph two.

  • B

    It supports the first paragraph's claim rather than questioning it.

  • C

    A new privacy problem isn't a summary of the earlier enforcement and trademark examples.

  • D

    The third paragraph concerns trademark jurisdiction. The fourth adds a different legal problem; it doesn't continue developing that particular trademark argument.

  • E
    Correct

    Uncertainty over privacy protections supplies additional support for the first paragraph's general claim that Internet communications challenge traditional lawmaking and enforcement.
