Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.            It is common knowledge that the Internet, often called simply Net, is the largest network of computers in the world. It connects businesses, institutions and individuals. One of its main uses is communication, and electronic mail, or e-mail, is probably the most popular use of the Internet. Although the Net is widely used by people of all ages, many adults are now concerned about is possibly harmful effects on young people.            For example, chatting is a popular activity on the Net.

There have cases where children have been tricked by adults who pass them off as children and who give information that provokes to be entirely false.            Another cause of worry for parents is the huge amount of information accessible to users of the Internet.
