Question

What would be the most likely reaction by the author of Passage 1 to the argument cited in lines 16-21 of Passage 2 (Nothing . . . another) ?

• A. Surprise at the assumption that freedom of speech is indispensable to democracy
• B. Dismay at the Supreme Courts vigorous defense of vendors rights
• C. Hope that the same reasoning would be applied to all unsolicited e-mail
• D. Concern for the plight of mass marketers facing substantial economic losses
• E. Appreciation for the political complexity of the debate about spam

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Hope that the same reasoning would be applied to all unsolicited e-mail

Passage 1 and 2 follow almost the same line of thought: the first passage talks spamming and how spammers are gaining control over the net and the second one lays the foundation for arguing about some proactive actions against bulk (spam) email. In this context, option C is the best answer.
