Question 1

To determine the best definition of "robot" from paragraph 1, we analyze the details. The passage mentions robots like R2 - D2 and C - 3PO that could walk, talk, and move, and also discusses how robots are built and how they work. Option A is incorrect as the passage isn't just about movie - used machines. Option C is wrong because the first paragraph doesn't focus on robots helping in houses. Option D is also incorrect as the first paragraph isn't centered around the practical use of robots. Option B, a machine that can act like a person, matches the description of robots (walking, talking, moving) in the paragraph.

To find the type of context clue for "robotics" in paragraph 1, we analyze the text. The paragraph says "she was interested in robotics. That's the study of how robots are built and how they work." Here, the phrase "That's the study of..." provides a direct definition of "robotics". A synonym would be a similar - meaning word, an antonym would be an opposite - meaning word, and an example would be a specific instance of the term. Since a definition is given, the context clue is a definition.

Answer:

B. a machine that can act like a person
