The implementation of the internet opened up the methods of communication in innumerable and unimaginable ways to the benefit and detriment of society. The seemingly infinite amount of possibilities on the internet has negatively affected society by helping users commit illicit activities with ease. For centuries, when someone thought about piracy they thought about boats, the sea, and scurvy—not computers, the world wide web, and viruses. Today, though, online piracy is significantly more detrimental than maritime piracy. Possibly the most ubiquitous and most socially accepted illegal activity permitted on the internet is the piracy of entertainment, especially television and film. While media producers often bemoan loudly how harmful piracy is to the entertainment industry, recent independent studies have found that these concerns overstate how detrimental piracy is. To understand the effect that illegal streaming and downloading has on society and media it is necessary to fully comprehend why people pirate, and the economics behind piracy.
The distribution of pirates skews heavily to the left and to those with low incomes. Anyone who wants to end online piracy needs to focus on young adults, the demographic with the highest proportion of pirates by a significant margin.There have been many case studies and surveys with the intention to pinpoint the factors that lead young people to illegally download and stream. One of the most common justifications is that the activity is so rampant that one additional pirate causes no damage. Other common reasons include the lack of availability at a low cost and the desire “to see rare and new movies”. Since the vast majority of students are in this demographic, it is logical to reason that people who cannot afford to buy or rent TV shows and movies are going to find other, cheaper means to stream and download. Other reasons for the propensity of college- aged students to pirate are their technological sawiness, the internet age they grew up in, and the lack of law enforcement It is a common misconception that those who illicitly download and stream would be paying customers in a pirate-free world. Due to the demographics associated with piracy it is naive to assume they would alternatively pay for content, and that belief overlooks the fact that free access actually may lead to paying customers in the future. Currently piracy on the internet is far too ubiquitous to completely remove, and government intervention has failed miserably so far. Even if it was possible to completely eliminate piracy there would be certain benefits to both producers and consumers that would be lost. To best manage piracy, it is imperative to fully understand how much piracy truly costs the economy and to know exactly what benefits may be produced. In order to maximize societal utility and end piracy without losing out on its many benefits, media producers need to increase the legal streaming options via an “a la carte” system.

Statement A is contrary to what the text says about the possibility of people eventually paying for content.
Statement B mentions “certain demographics”, the passage only talks about the demographic of young adults. Thus, statement B cannot be deduced.

Analyse the following passage and provide appropriate answers for the questions that follow:An effective way of describing what interpersonal communication is or is not, is perhaps to capture the underlying beliefs using specific game analogies.Communication as Bowling: The bowling model of message delivery is probably the most widely held view of communication. I think that's unfortunate. This model sees the bowler as the sender, who delivers the ball, which is the message. As it rolls down the lane (the channel), clutter on the boards (nois e) may deflect the ball (the message).Yet if it is aimed well, the ball strikes the passive pins (the target audience) with a predictable effect. In this one – way model of communication, the speaker (bowler) must take care to select a precisely crafted message (ball) and practice diligently to deliver it the same way every time.Of course, that makes sense only if target listeners are interchangeable, static pins waiting to be bowled over by our words – which they aren't.This has led some observers to propose an interactive model of interpersonal communication.Communication as Ping-Pong: Unlike bowling, PingPong is not a solo game. This fact alone makes it a better analogy for interpersonal communication. One party puts the conversational ball in play, and the other gets into position to receive. It takes more concentration and skill to receive than to serve because while the speaker (server) knows where the message is going, the listener (receiver) doesn't. Like a verbal or nonverbal message, the ball may appear straightforward yet have a deceptive spin. PingPong is a back-and-forth game; players switch roles continuously. One moment the person holding the paddle is an initiator; the next second the same player is a responder, gauging the effectiveness of his or her shot by the way the ball comes back. The repeated adjustment essential for good play closely parallels the feedback process described in a number of interpersonal communication theories.Communication as Dumb Charades: The game of charades best captures the simultaneous and collaborative nature of interpersonal communication. A charade is neither an action, like bowling a strike, nor an interaction, like a rally in Ping-Pong. It's a transaction.Charades is a mutual game; the actual play is cooperative.One member draws a title or slogan from a batch of possibilities and then tries to act it out visually for teammates in a silent mini drama. The goal is to get at least one partner to say the exact words that are on the slip of paper. Of course, the actor is prohibited from talking out loud.Suppose you drew the saying "God helps those who help themselves." For God you might try folding your hands and gazing upward. For help you could act out offering a helping hand or giving a leg-up boost over a fence. By pointing at a number of real or imaginary people you may elicit a response from them, and by this point a partner may shout out, "God helps those who help themselves." Success.Like charades, interpersonal communication is a mutual, on-going process of sending, receiving, and adapting verbal and nonverbal messages with another person to create and alter the images in both of our minds. Communication between us begins when there is some overlap between two images, and is effective to the extent that overlapincreases. But even if our mental pictures are congruent, communication will be partial as long as we interpret them differently. The idea that "God helps those who help themselves" could strike one person as a hollow promise, while the other might regard it as a divine stamp of approval for hard work.Dumb Charade goes beyond the simplistic analogy of bowling and ping pong. It views interpersonal communications as a complex transaction in which overlapping messages simultaneously affect and are affected by the other person and multiple other factors.Q. Which  of the  following  options   is  the   CLOSEST to  the  necessary  condition  of communication
