Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We need to identify the primary concern of AI critics.
- Step 1: Locate critics’ view: The passage states, “critics warn of unchecked development leading to societal risks.”
- Step 2: Evaluate options:
- (a) Lack of innovation: Incorrect, as proponents highlight innovation.
- (b) Societal risks from unchecked development: Matches the passage directly.
- (c) High implementation costs: Not mentione(d)
- (d) Limited applications: Incorrect, as AI has “vast” applications.
- Step 3: Confirm: Option b aligns with the passage’s emphasis on critics’ concerns.
Thus, the answer is b.

Answer 2

We need the percentage of jobs AI could automate by 2030.
- Step 1: Find the statistic: The passage states, “AI could automate 30% of current jobs by 2030.”
- Step 2: Match options:
- (a) 20%: Incorrect.
- (b) 25%: Incorrect.
- (c) 30%: Correct.
- (d) 35%: Incorrect.
- Step 3: Confirm: The passage explicitly mentions 30%.
Thus, the answer is c.

Answer 3

We need to determine the passage’s tone.
- Step 1: Analyze content: The passage discusses AI’s benefits (“boosts efficiency and innovation”) and concerns (“job displacement,” “privacy invasion,” “societal risks”).
- Step 2: Evaluate tone: It presents both positive and negative aspects, suggesting a neutral stance.
- Step 3: Check options:
- (a) Entirely optimistic: Incorrect, as it mentions concerns.
- (b) Completely pessimistic: Incorrect, as it highlights benefits.
- (c) Balanced: Correct, as it weighs both sides.
- (d) Indifferent: Incorrect, as it shows engagement with pros and cons.
Thus, the answer is c.

Answer 4

We need to identify what the passage deems crucial for AI.
- Step 1: Find the relevant statement: The passage concludes, “Balancing progress with regulation is crucial.”
- Step 2: Match options:
- (a) Rapid expansion: Not mentione(d)
- (b) Balancing progress with regulation: Directly matches.
- (c) Eliminating ethical concerns: Not state(d)
- (d) Increasing data usage: Incorrect, as data raises concerns.
- Step 3: Confirm: Option b is explicitly state(d)
Thus, the answer is b.

Answer 5

We need the antonym of “vast” in “AI’s applications are vast.”
- Step 1: Define context: “Vast” means very large or numerous.
- Step 2: Evaluate options:
- (a) Large: Synonym, not antonym.
- (b) Small: Opposite, meaning limited or few.
- (c) Extensive: Synonym, not antonym.
- (d) Broad: Synonym, not antonym.
- Step 3: Confirm: Small is the clear opposite.
Thus, the answer is b.

Answer 6

We need a word that fits the context of increasing concerns.
- Step 1: Analyze context: Passage 1 mentions “ethical concerns, such as job displacement and privacy invasion,” implying AI worsens privacy issues.
- Step 2: Evaluate options:
- (a) Alleviated: Means reduced, incorrect.
- (b) Mitigated: Means lessened, incorrect.
- (c) Exacerbated: Means worsened, fits context.
- (d) Resolved: Means solved, incorrect.
- Step 3: Confirm: Exacerbated aligns with privacy concerns increasing.
Thus, the answer is c.

Answer 7

We need to find the grammatically incorrect sentence.
- Step 1: Analyze sentences:
- (a) Correct: “has transformed” agrees with singular “AI.”
- (b) Incorrect: “Many companies” (plural) with “is” (singular); should be “are.”
- (c) Correct: “Workers are” agrees, proper structure.
- (d) Correct: “Policymakers are” agrees, proper structure.
- Step 2: Confirm: Sentence b has a subject-verb agreement error.
Thus, the answer is b.

Answer 8

We need the sentence that differs in theme.
- Step 1: Identify theme: Sentences a, b, and d focus on positive impacts of AI (decision-making, automation, productivity).
- Step 2: Compare: Sentence c discusses a negative concern (data privacy).
- Step 3: Confirm: Sentence c is the odd one out due to its negative focus.
Thus, the answer is c.

Answer 9

We need a logical inference from Passage 1.
- Step 1: Review passage: It mentions ethical concerns (job displacement, privacy) and concludes, “Balancing progress with regulation is crucial.”
- Step 2: Evaluate options:
- (a) AI will eliminate all jobs: Incorrect, only 30% automation mentione(d)
- (b) Regulation can address ethical concerns: Supported by the need for regulation.
- (c) No practical applications: Incorrect, applications are vast.
- (d) Data security not a concern: Incorrect, it’s a concern.
- Step 3: Confirm: Option b is a logical inference from the regulation emphasis.
Thus, the answer is b.
