Legal assistants must be able to keep confidences because:

Clients do not like their secrets told
Confidential information could be used by others to the detriment of the client
It is an ethical rule imposed on attorneys
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Legal assistants must be able to keep confidences for a variety of reasons. While clients may not want their secrets revealed, it's not just a matter of keeping a client happy. Confidential information could be used by others to the detriment of the client, which is a major concern in the legal field. Additionally, it is an ethical rule imposed on attorneys and their staff to maintain the confidentiality of information shared by their clients. Therefore, all of the options presented are important factors for legal assistants to consider when it comes to keeping confidences.
