Question

lucy is writing about this excerpt from the code book. only a small fraction of the information flowing around the world is securely encrypted, and the remainder is poorly encrypted, or not encrypted at all. this is because the number of internet users is rapidly increasing, and yet few of these people take adequate precautions in terms of privacy. in turn, this means that national security organizations, law enforcers and anybody else with a curious mind can get their hands on more information than they can cope with. which of lucys lines best shows that she has made a personal connection to the reading? the author is explaining that much information is not encrypted. the author is explaining that internet users must be more careful. this book helps me realize that much of my online information is not secure. this book helps me realize that there are too many people using the internet.

Explanation:

A personal connection involves relating the text to one's own experience. The first two options are just restating the author's points without personal reference. The fourth option misinterprets the text (the issue is encryption, not too many users). The third option ("This book helps me realize that much of my online information is not secure") connects the text to the reader's (Lucy's assumed) online - self, showing a personal connection.

Answer:

This book helps me realize that much of my online information is not secure.
