Reading the passage

We've already predicted the main point: the courts' compromise doesn't fully protect either side. It can restrict employees without reliably stopping subtle transfers of company knowledge. Look for that combined criticism, not just one half of it.

Working the answers

  • A

    We aren't given a better alternative. Showing that this approach falls short doesn't establish that more effective methods are available.

  • B

    The writer criticizes the injunctions but doesn't recommend strengthening them. The difficulties described involve using and tracing knowledge, so a stricter order isn't offered as the solution.

  • C

    This focuses only on protecting the company's information. It also goes beyond the text by calling enforcement impossible: the final sentence leaves room for controlling documents and other concrete materials.

  • D
    Correct

    The intended objectives are to preserve the employee's freedom and the company's secrets. The first paragraph questions success on both fronts, and the rest develops the practical difficulty of preventing disclosure. This matches the whole prediction while allowing some limited effectiveness.

  • E

    This captures the employee side but leaves out the company's problem. Much of the discussion explains why information can still reach a competitor despite the prohibition.
