Hint:

For reading comprehension questions, prioritize answers that directly match or paraphrase the passage's wording, especially for specific detail questions. Eliminate options not supported by the text.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Step 1: Understand the question. The question asks for a significant challenge to AI adoption, requiring us to identify a negative aspect explicitly mentioned in the passage.
- Step 2: Locate relevant information. The passage states, "ethical concerns, including bias in algorithms and lack of transparency, pose significant challenges to its widespread adoption." This directly highlights bias in algorithms as a challenge.
- Step 3: Evaluate the options.
- Option (1): "High development costs" is not mentioned in the passage as a challenge to adoption, so it is incorrect.
- Option (2): "Lack of skilled professionals" is not referenced in the passage, making it irrelevant.
- Option (3): "Bias in algorithms" directly matches the passage's wording as one of the ethical concerns, making it the correct choice.
- Option (4): "Slow processing speeds" is not discussed in the passage, so it is incorrect.
- Step 4: Verify specificity. The passage explicitly lists "bias in algorithms" alongside transparency as a challenge. Since transparency is not an option, bias in algorithms is the precise match.
- Step 5: Cross-check for alternatives. The passage does not mention costs, skills, or processing speeds as challenges, confirming that option (3) is the only correct choice.
- Step 6: Final conclusion. Option (3) Bias in algorithms is the correct answer, as it directly reflects a significant challenge stated in the passage.
