Take a health-insurance company. It may charge more to insure someone who doesn’t get much exercise. So “you may not like them to know if you are a lazy person or you are an active person,” Mehrnezhad says. Yet with your phone’s motion sensors, “which are reporting the amount of activity you’re doing every day, they could easily identify what type of user you are.”

Question

4. How does paragraph 25 contribute
to the development of ideas in the
text?
A. It shows how information
collected by sensors could be used
in a way that negatively affects you.
B. It emphasizes how it is
impossible to keep your
smartphone from collecting
information about you.
C. It stresses how unethical
companies are and what they are
willing to do to learn more about
you.
D. It proves to readers why they
should disable the sensors on their
smartphones when not actively
using an app.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. It shows how information collected by sensors could be used in a way that negatively affects you.

This option aligns with the idea presented in the paragraph, which discusses the potential negative implications of health insurance companies using data from phone sensors to evaluate a person's activity level and, consequently, impact their insurance rates.
