Passage 1
"Big data" is becoming a buzz word of the 21st century. Technically, big data refers to a data set that is too large to
analyze. Colloquially, big data refers to the ever-increasing amount of personal information that is collected by
computers. Computers monitor and record our online habits, what we buy at the grocery store, our medical and
educational records, and even our location. This glut of information has many screaming about privacy concerns.
However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our
economy, science, and society.
Passage 2
The casual acceptance of the collection of personal data is one of the most troubling trends of the information age.
Proponents of big data argue that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, and that proper regulation of the use of
data can adequately control the dangers. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to identify the right ways to
regulate the use of data and to persuade the global community to agree on these regulations. Even if we could, what
group or agency has the power to monitor the entirety of the Internet? It is far wiser to take immediate steps to limit
the collection of personal data now.
The author of Passage 1 would most likely criticize the author of Passage 2 for
A. ignoring the potential benefits of big data
B. considering the global implications of big data
C trying to limit the use of medical and educational records
D. examining the way that computers record and store information
E. I don't know

The author of passage 1 shows that there are risks with using big data, but that there are many benefits that must be considered and optimized. however, the author of passage 2 ignores these benefits and only considers the dangers of big data. For this reason, we can consider that the author of passage 1 would criticize the position of the author of passage 2.

In this case, we can state that option A is the correct answer to this question.

When reading these two passages, we can consider that:

  • The author of passage 1 shows that bigdata is something positive and should be explored and optimized.
  • This author is aware that there are risks in using big data.
  • However, the author states that there are ways to combat these risks and for this reason, big data should be used.
  • The author of the second passage does not give assurance about combating the risks of using big data.
  • This author claims that the risks are very large and dangerous.
  • This author doesn't even cite the benefits that big data has, because he doesn't believe in these factual benefits.

Thus, we can see that in a debate on big data, the author of the first passage would present a claim on the subject, presenting the benefits of big data, while the author of the second passage would present a counterclaim, fighting the argument of the author of the first passage.
