____ sun shines very brightly in summer.
Explanation: 'The' is a definite article which is used before a noun that is fixed, special or discussed earlier. 'A/An' is used before an indefinite singular noun. 'Sun' is a fixed noun. Hence 'the' will be used. <br> The sun shines very brightly in summer.

A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
Dhirubhai went to America ____ earning money.
Explanation: Solution: <br> First, let's define the relevant terms: These options all express purpose, but they differ in nuance. <br> Option A: with a view to - This phrase indicates a more formal and long-term goal or intention. It suggests a deliberate plan with a specific aim in mind. <br> Option B: for - This preposition is very general and can express purpose, but it's less precise than other options. It often implies a reason or cause, but not necessarily a planned action. <br> Option C: in order that - This phrase introduces a clause that explains the consequence or result of the main action. It shows purpose by focusing on what was intended to happen *as a result* of Dhirubhai's trip. <br> Option D: in order to - This phrase directly and concisely expresses the purpose of the main action. It shows a deliberate action taken with a specific goal in mind. It's similar to 'to' but more emphatic. <br> Correct Answer: Option D (in order to) <br> The sentence indicates a direct and clear purpose for Dhirubhai's trip to America: earning money. 'In order to' perfectly conveys this direct and intentional action. Dhirubhai went to America *for the purpose of* earning money. This is the most natural and accurate way to express the sentence's meaning. <br> Why other options are incorrect: <br> Option A ('with a view to') is too formal for this context. While it suggests a planned action, it's less natural here than 'in order to'.<br> Option B ('for') is too vague and doesn't clearly convey the intended purpose as a deliberate action. It's more suitable for explaining a general reason, not a specific goal. <br> Option C ('in order that') would require a clause explaining the intended consequence. For example, 'Dhirubhai went to America in order that he might earn money.' This is grammatically correct, but less concise and direct than Option D. The original question didn't include a result clause, making Option D the most suitable choice.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions. <br><br> The fear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robots will automate many jobs has been growing as technological change accelerates. Some studies have predicted that 40-50% of US jobs could be automated in the next 20 years, and many people are worried that they could be forced into retirement. <br><br> The world has navigated a number of industrial revolutions in the past: First Industrial Revolution - Steam & Mechanical Production - 1700s & 1800s, Second Industrial Revolution - Electricity & Mass Production 1870 to 1914, Third Industrial Revolution - Digital Revolution - 1980s, Fourth Industrial Revolution - AI, Robotics, Networks, Biotechnology, Internet of Things - Today. <br><br> Each time many jobs were lost, but we created new ones and overall employment stayed high after the initial disruption. But this time it feels different partly due to the fact that real wage growth has been low to flat for many people meaning their standard of living isn't rising. As we've become more productive through automation and globalization the share of GDP that goes to labor has fallen, while the share to capital has risen. Basically it's better to be an investor rather than a worker - unless you have special skills. <br><br> Is the fear overblown? Some experts say yes. I spoke with Ken Goldberg, a UC Berkeley Robotics Professor and Eric Brewer, a VP at Google and UC Berkeley Computer Science Professor about AI Automation and the Future of Work on a recent podcast. Both felt that the fears around AI and Robotics destroying jobs or worse leading to the Singularity where AI takes over are overblown. The Singularity is a term promoted by Ray Kurzweil which predicts that based on Moore's law and the doubling of computing power per dollar every few years that: by 2023 a $1,000 computer will have the processing power of 1 human brain; by 2030 the Singularity will occur and runaway AI will emerge; by 2050 a $1,000 computer will have the processing power of all human brains. <br><br> Both Professors feel that predictions like self-driving cars will take much longer to play out, and that while some industries may face big disruptions. The jobs that get automated will be the boring mundane jobs which will be replaced by more interesting, creative jobs. <br><br> Ken Goldberg in particular believes 'Rather than worrying about an impending Singularity, consider instead the concept of Multiplicity: where diverse combinations of people and machines work together to solve problems and innovate.' <br><br> They are both hopeful for the future where we all learn new skills faster and live more diverse rich lives. Eric Brewer shared 'I feel like our kids will grow up in a generation that expects that they can do whatever they want at any time. That's super empowering.'
Which of the following statements is/are true with respect to the passage? <br> I. The fourth industrial revolution brought the digital universe to our doorstep. <br> II. Robotics and A.I. are likely to lead to the laying off of many skilled workers. <br> III. 40-50% of jobs in the US could be automated in the next 20 years due to automation.
Explanation: Refer to: The world has navigated a number of industrial revolutions in the past: First Industrial Revolution - Steam & Mechanical Production - 1700s & 1800s, Second Industrial Revolution - Electricity & Mass Production 1870 to 1914, Third Industrial Revolution - Digital Revolution - 1980s, Fourth Industrial Revolution - AI, Robotics, Networks, Biotechnology, Internet of Things - Today. <br> The highlighted parts above prove that statement I is not true. <br> Refer to: <br> As we've become more productive through automation and globalization the share of GDP that goes to labor has fallen, while the share to capital has risen. Basically it's better to be an investor rather than a worker - unless you have special skills. <br> The highlighted part above implies that skilled workers are safe. Hence, statement II is also not true. <br> Refer to: <br> Some studies have predicted that 40-50% of US jobs could be automated in the next 20 years, and many people are worried that they could be forced into retirement. <br> The highlighted part above confirms that statement III is true. <br> Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is/are not true with respect to the passage? <br> I. With each industrial revolution, many jobs were lost, but new types of jobs also came into being. <br> II. In the present time, wages of many workers have been going downhill in many cases. <br> III. With the advent of A.I. and faster internet connections, self-driving cars have become a reality.
Explanation: Refer to: <br> The world has navigated a number of industrial revolutions in the past"¦<br> Each time many jobs were lost, but we created new ones and overall employment stayed high after the initial disruption. <br> The highlighted part above confirms that statement I is true. <br> Refer to: <br> But this time it feels different partly due to the fact that real wage growth has been low to flat for many people meaning their standard of living isn't rising. <br> The highlighted part above confirms that there has been a wage growth, though it was 'low'. The word 'flat' indicates stagnation, but, the passage does not mention anywhere that people's wages are declining. Hence, statement II is not true. <br> Refer to: <br> Both Professors feel that predictions like self-driving cars will take much longer to play out, and that while some industries may face big disruptions. <br> The highlighted part hints that self-driving cars will be a reality in the future. But they are not available at present. Hence, statement III is not true. <br> Therefore, Option E is the correct answer.

The job crisis caused by the fourth industrial revolution is very similar to that of previous industrial revolutions.
