(MC) Study the quote to answer the question: "So-called anonymous tracking is not very secure-the anonymity is fairly easily broken. Cracking open that anonymous shell and merging it with personally identifiable information from other sources is a fairly easy engineering feat."

Sorry i'm helping someone else right now

First of all, what you need to know what their main point is. After you have done that, you should be able to get the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think there main point is that just because you click anonymous doesn't mean you are completely safe

OpenStudy (greencat):

What is the difference between the original and each of the answer choices? I'm not well, so could you just point it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one of the questions is a correct version of the passage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or quote

OpenStudy (greencat):

So the first is a copy.

OpenStudy (greencat):

The second removes so much that it makes no sense.

OpenStudy (greencat):

And no addition in second

OpenStudy (greencat):

I think we can cross out the secoond one. What do you say about that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think your right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its the last or third

OpenStudy (greencat):

The third seems plausible because of the use of "and". However, it does not mention cracking it.

OpenStudy (greencat):

and last one does not mention merging

OpenStudy (greencat):

Also the "it" in last one could be anonymity or anonymous tracking

OpenStudy (greencat):

third one's use of "merge" seems to imply cracking.
