Phishing, not to be confused with Fishing, is a scam that is aimed at stealing one's personal identity. Phishing began in the mid 1990's when internet usage was becoming more common in regular homes. Users were receiving e-mail massages to their AOL accounts that ___________________ , but in reality were cons aimed at trying to steal people's valuable information. As it became more convenient to purchase on line as well as complete on-line banking, this gave scammers even more freedom to hack into people's accounts and not only steal their indentities, but also their money.

(a) urged receivers to send money
(b) seemed to help out receivers
(c) were masked as legitimate e-mails
(d) were sent by some scammers
전 b했는데 c가 답이라고 합니다. 저의 논리에 무슨 문제가 있는건가요? 해설은 cons (사기) 때문에 legitimate가 답이라는데 사기의 반대를 찾는다면 help out도 답이 될수 있잖아요. 가르쳐주세용ㅜ

물론 b라고 생각하실 수도 있겠지만 '수신자들을 도우려는 것처럼 보이는' 이메일이라는 것 자체가
무슨 뜻인지 명확하지가 않고요. (뭘 돕는다는 건지... )
뒤에는 '실제로는 사람들의 귀중한 정보를 훔치려는 목적의 사기' 라고 범죄가 언급되어 있죠.
문맥상 '범죄가 아닌 것' 처럼 보이는 의미가 와야 가장 적절하겠고,
그렇다면 답은 (c) 합법적인 이메일인척 가장되어진 이 가장 적절하죠.
