Answer 1

Don Tapscott said, "Just as the Internet drops transaction and collaboration costs...it [the Internet] also drops the cost of dissent, of rebellion, and even insurrection." 

The brackets [ ] indicate added text. Whatever is inside the brackets is the added text. The answer choice with [sic] is not added text, however. This is because sic tells the reader that any grammatical error is from the original text and hasn't been corrected. Elipses (...) tell you that text from the original quote has been left out. Text left out must not change the meaning of the text, just eliminate excess wordiness and help the flow of the writing.
