The internet explosion has opened the doors to a new electronic world. Increasing numbers of people are gravitating towards the internet as the accessibility of technology, the availability of information, and the ability to interact through the internet increase and evolve. Obvious capabilities of the internet include avenues for gathering information, purchasing a product, or rendering a service. These advances in internet technology allow for the expansion of shopping options beyond traditional methods. Issues with having to physically gather information by offline shopping methods are alleviated, and customers are better able to efficiently use their time. For instance, instead of having to call or visit different stores to compare prices, or rely on circular pamphlets in newspapers, a consumer is able to search and retrieve needed information through the internet in a matter of minutes. Consumers are now using the internet for a variety of other purposes such as communication, entertainment, and even research.
However, not all consumers are participating in online transactions as part of the internet boom. As more and more businesses continue to establish an online presence, they are finding that some consumers are still reluctant to shift in that same direction. For various consumers, there are concerns with security and passing personal data over the internet. This is evident from the huge disparity between the number of consumers who visit a store’s website and the number of actual purchases the website makes. As the internet is rapidly becoming the main method of conducting business transactions conveniently, new technological advancements will have to come about to make these transactions secure.

1. Which of the following behaviors is most clearly an example of the challenge stated in the second paragraph?
The challenge stated in the second paragraph is people show interest in searching the internet about the products, and hesitating to make payments fearing the personal data might be lost while making the purchase.
A. A soon-to-be bride visits a website selling wedding gowns in order to research the current trending designs.
This addresses the initial aspect of searching the internet for product details, but didn’t address the challenge. Hence, wrong.
B. A teenager with a new bank account buys a pair of socks on an e-commerce website to check if his new debit card works fine.
This addresses both the aspects, and the teenager has overcame the challenge by making a payment. Hence, Wrong.
C. A student cancels his plans to order electronic gadgets from a foreign website because he is unsure about the safety of paying internationally.
This resonates with the challenge and the students insecurity over internet safety. Hence, Correct answer.
D. An elderly gentleman searches back-friendly mattresses on the internet and buys one in a local store after physically testing a mattress.
The elderly man effectively uses the internet to optimise his search, while making the purchase physically testing it at a local store. Hence, wrong.
E. A book-lover plans to purchase the latest thriller novels online but changes her mind because her friend lends the same to her.
The book lover uses internet to explore his options, but was lucky to have a friend lend a book. The challenge is not faced. Hence, wrong.
Option C
2. Which of the following titles best summarizes the contents of the passage?
A. The Story of the Internet Explosion
B. Is Personal Data Secure on the Internet?
C. Internet Commerce: Capabilities and a Challenge
D. The Rise and Fall of Internet Shopping
E. Internet: Boon or Bane?
The bone of contention is between option B and C. Even though the second para stresses the Importance of personal data security on the internet. The core theme discussed in both the first and second paragraph - Internet commerce, its capabilities and a challenge.
The challenge is the loss of personal data while making online payments. Hence, Option C.
3. Each of the following is an example of "issues with offline shopping methods" (see highlighted text) the internet solves EXCEPT
A. Finding the prices of the latest clothing items by going to a store.
B. Attending an electronics expo to compare the features of the latest technology gadgets.
C. Joining a book club to know the reviews of the latest non-fiction bestsellers.
D. Window-shopping different stores to compare their catalogs.
E. Researching a pair of good running shoes by trying them on before making the purchase.
The internet can solve all the issues , except Option E.
Researching a pair of good running shoes on the internet is feasible and easy. But, trying them is not possible without physically visiting or getting the shoes on hand. Hence, this issue of trail testing the product cannot be addressed by internet.
