Question

lucy is writing about this excerpt from the code book. which of lucys lines best shows that she has made a personal connection to the reading? 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. 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 line "This book helps me realize that much of my online information is not secure" shows a personal connection as it refers to "my online information", linking the reading to the writer's own situation. The other options are either just restating the author's point (e.g., "The author is explaining that much information is not encrypted") or making a general statement (e.g., "This book helps me realize that there are too many people using the Internet") without a personal link.

Answer:

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