Explanation

Internet access is required to access email accounts because email services are hosted on servers that are connected to the internet.

6. A long email could cause the recipient to lose interest and stop reading the email. 

Explanation

A long email can be overwhelming and time-consuming to read, causing the recipient to lose interest and stop reading. People often have limited attention spans and may not have the patience or time to go through lengthy emails. Therefore, it is likely that a long email could lead to the recipient losing interest and not fully engaging with the content.

Submit
7. The person receiving the e-mail has to be online in order to receive the e-mail sent to him by his friend. 

Explanation

The statement is false because the person receiving the email does not need to be online in order to receive the email. Emails are stored on the email server until the recipient logs in and retrieves them. Once the recipient is online, they can access their email and receive any new messages that have been sent to them. Therefore, being online is not a requirement for receiving emails.

Explanation

This statement is false because while it is true that emails can potentially be stolen or modified by knowledgeable hackers, it is not necessarily true that this will happen to every email. The security of emails depends on various factors such as the strength of the email provider's security measures, the user's own security practices, and the specific targeting by hackers. Therefore, not all emails are automatically at risk of being stolen or modified.
