Q5

Can someone tell me where I can find B in this question. All I can find about encryption systems is in the last paragraph where it mentioned it's inconvenience.

Thanks

Exactly. The author sees encryption as a potential solution to the issue of privacy but implies that, "unfortunately," encryption is too inconvenient.

This question asks "what would the author say about an encryption system that's really, really easy to use?"

Answer: the author would love it! It would help save privacy.

This is what (B) says. The rest are way off.

(D) Can be tempting if you presume that supervisors have access to and use the encryption system to decode messages sent by their employees. However, we do not know this to be true. Furthermore, the author presumes this is not the case when he/she contends that the only way they can maintain privacy is if you scramble your messages using encryption software.

going off of what the person above posted, I eliminated B because I thought that the employers would also have access to encrypt, decrypt an email so than it would make it pointless. an employee could easily encrypt it, but then the employer could just as easily decrypt it.. make privacy nearly impossible.

how do we Not make this assumption...?

Thank you!
