Graduation is a significant milestone that marks the end of an educational journey and the beginning of a new chapter

Read the following passage about modern friendships and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 11 to 20.
[I] As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever. One of
the greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking.[II]. Hackers are people who illegally
enter systems. They may alter or delete information, steal private information, or spread viruses that can
damage or destroy files. [III]. But how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these things? [IV]
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These protocols
allow computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police officers. When a
computer connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is valid. The protocols can also
determine how much information can be shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the
protocols to get unlimited access to a computer system.
 In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is commonly called
passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a challenging system like a bank or
military network. Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system. After hacking into systems, these
hackers release viruses or alter, delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the
more dangerous of the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual passwords are harder
for hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use “password-plus” systems. In
this case, users first put in a password and then put in a second code that changes after the user accesses the
site. Users either have special cards or devices that show them the new code to use the next time. Even if a
hacker steals the password, they won’t have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still don’t
know the password.
