Question 1 of 5
1. Question
As AI applications become more integrated into healthcare systems, questions about consent, data ownership, and transparency arise. Patients must have control over how their health data is used and shared. Robust cybersecurity measures are essential to prevent unauthorized access and protect against potential breaches. AI algorithms often rely on vast datasets, including sensitive health information, to train and improve their performance. The handling of such data demands stringent privacy measures to safeguard individuals’ confidentiality. Regulatory frameworks with penalty provisions must evolve to address the unique challenges posed by AI in healthcare. Establishing clear guidelines for data usage, ensuring transparency in algorithmic decision-making, and enforcing strict privacy standards are pivotal to fostering trust in AIdriven healthcare solutions.
Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
- Balancing innovation with privacy safeguards is integral to realising the transformative potential of AI in the healthcare.
- Governments need to formulate laws and policies to address the privacy threats posed by the use of AI in healthcare.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
Correct
Explanation : C
- Statement 1 is correct: Refer to the line: “Patients must have control over how their health data is used and shared.” Clearly, there are privacy concerns with the increasing use of AI in healthcare. So, innovations in AI need to be balanced with addressing these concerns for the effective use of AI in healthcare. So, this assumption is correct as per the passage.
- Statement 2 is correct: The passage is about privacy concerns with the increasing use of AI in healthcare and highlights the need for regulations. It is evident from the line: “Regulatory frameworks with penalty provisions must evolve to address the unique challenges posed by AI in healthcare.” The government is responsible for regulations through laws and policies. So, this assumption that the government needs to form laws and policies for privacy threats is correct.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Which of the following statements best reflects the crux of the passage?
Correct
Solution: C
- Option (c) is correct: The passage is about AI in health and the privacy challenges associated with it. The lines, “Patients must have control over how their health data is used and shared. Robust cybersecurity measures are essential to prevent unauthorized access and protect against potential breaches. AI algorithms often rely on vast datasets, including sensitive health information, to train and improve their performance”, show that without privacy, AI in healthcare can be misused. Hence, it is correct to state that without privacy safeguards AI in healthcare could be dangerous due to the threat of misuse of data.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
The fear of making the wrong decision immobilizes any person, fostering a state of inertia that hinders personal growth and achievement. This perpetual hesitancy extends beyond the immediate choices; it corrodes his confidence and self-esteem, creating a cycle of selfdoubt. Relationships, career opportunities, and personal development become casualties of this chronic indecision. The person finds himself in a static existence, witnessing the passage of time without actively engaging in the meaningful pursuits that could shape his life. Breaking free from this cycle demands a courageous embrace of uncertainty, for it is only through decisive action that he can unlock the doors to progress and selfdiscovery.
Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
-
- Uncertain choices may lead to a life marked by missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
- An achievement-oriented person makes decisive decisions for growth in life.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation
- Statement 1 is correct: The passage is about uncertainty in the context of decision-making, and its consequences. This assumption refers to the uncertainty that could result from choices which eventually could cause failure or a pause in growth as per the lines, “The fear of making the wrong decision immobilizes any person, fostering a state of inertia that hinders personal growth and achievement. This perpetual hesitancy extends beyond the immediate choices; it corrodes his confidence and self-esteem, creating a cycle of self-doubt.” So, this assumption is valid as per the passage.
- Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage covers the issues of uncertainty in decision-making. However, the given assumption mentions what kind of person makes decisive decisions in life which is not a part of the passage. For success, decisive approach might be needed. But to assume that a goal-oriented person is decisive would not be correct, as it is not based on the information contained in the passage. That would be an extreme extrapolation of the propositions made in the passage.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Multinational corporations, international media, and the internet play influential roles in disseminating a shared set of cultural references and norms. As a result, local traditions and practices face the risk of erosion or assimilation into a globalized culture. This phenomenon is often associated with the spread of Western values, consumerism, and media, which can overshadow and replace local traditions, languages, and customs. While it promotes interconnectedness and shared experiences, it also raises concerns about the loss of cultural diversity. Indigenous languages, traditional knowledge, and unique customs face the threat of extinction as globalized trends become dominant.
Which one of the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation
Option (b) is correct: The lines “As a result, local traditions and practices face the risk of erosion or assimilation into a globalized culture (cultural homogenization) … While it promotes interconnectedness and shared experiences, it also raises concerns about the loss of cultural diversity” validate this answer option. This option best captures the inference that globalization has threatened local cultures. So, this is the most rational inference from the passage.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
As smartphones become an integral part of daily life, many individuals find themselves compulsively reaching for their phones, even in seemingly inconsequential moments. The addictive allure of notifications, social media updates, and constant connectivity can lead to a dependency that impacts both mental and physical wellbeing. The constant exposure to screens may disrupt sleep patterns, leading to fatigue and a decline in overall health. Social relationships can suffer as individuals prioritize virtual connections over face-to-face interactions. The addictive nature of phones is exacerbated by the fear of missing out (FOMO) and the pressure to stay digitally always connected. Fostering a balanced relationship with technology becomes essential for maintaining overall well-being and reclaiming control over one’s time and attention.
Which of the following is/are the most rational and logical inference/inferences that can be made from the passage?
- The dopamine-driven cycle of viral news makes it impossible to break free from phone addiction.
- In today’s world, people value full isolation more than face-to-face interactions.
Select the correct answer from the code given below:
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation
- Statement 1 is incorrect: The passage is about smartphone addiction and the issues associated with it. However, this option mentions the dopamine cycle and viral news which is not explicitly mentioned in the passage. Even if we assume it to be true, it would be an extreme statement to say that they make it “impossible” to break free from phone addiction.
- Statement 2 is incorrect: The given inference seems to be based on the following lines “Social relationships can suffer as individuals prioritize virtual connections over face-to-face interactions.” Here, the passage mentions preferring virtual connections whereas the inference is about valuing full isolation more than face-to-face interactions which is not correct because full isolation includes isolating digitally as well.
