B. to prove that smartphone sensors are not for the user’s benefit

Explanation:

I believe the question is related to the article entitled "Smartphones put your privacy at risk."

The article tells people, especially the smartphone-users, about "invasive" apps and how they use the smartphone's sensor in order to steal information without the knowledge of the user. It provides evidence how the sensors are actually keeping track of the person's normal daily routine, which he is not aware of. It can then give others the information on where he lives or works.

The article doesn't discourage the readers from using smartphones, it simply tells information so readers will become aware. Using the smartphone is a trade-off, it doesn't involve balance between convenience and its risk.

So, this explains the answer.

warren buffett- the oracle of omaha warren buffett came from a normal type of family in nebraska. when hew as young, he understood the value of investing money and gaining interest on that investment. he strived hard at several jobs, but what made him one of the wealthiest men in the world was his gift for allocating capital within a free market system. warren buffett is an example of a man whose wealth is owed largely to the free enterprise system. buffett was able to allocate his money however he wanted, investing in businesses that he thought could compete effectively. without the free market system, he would not have the right to invest however he wanted, and would not have become so wealthy.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
