Question

when some jobs are automated, employment in those areas increased. 11. which paragraphs is the following central idea found in? as automation continues to take over more jobs, it is important for workers to learn new skills. a. paragraphs 3 - 4 b. paragraphs 5 - 6 c. paragraphs 8 - 9 d. paragraphs 10 - 11 12. according to the article, what are the benefits to having more jobs automated? select all that apply. a. automation reduces the cost of a product or service. b. automation will make it easier for humans to find jobs that are more meaningful. c. automated computers are often more accurate than humans. d. automation will require humans to learn new skills to stay employed. e. automation is more efficient and faster than humans. f. automating jobs will negatively affect lower paying and lower skilled jobs. 13. reread paragraph 3. what was the author’s purpose for including this information in their article? a. the author is trying to prove that computers are not 100% accurate and should not be trusted. b. the author is trying to emphasize that though computers are not 100% accurate, using them can save companies time and money. c. the author is trying to argue that computers should only be used for analyzing data. d. the author is trying to provide proof that computers should be used more in the legal industry. 14. which two excerpts from the article best support the inference below? the author doesn’t think we should be too worried about automation taking jobs away from humans. a. a new study...found that about 5 percent of jobs are at risk of being completely automated in the near future. b. so, while computers create jobs in some occupations, they also reduce employment in others. c. that could change decades into the future, as new generations of software powered by artificial intelligence becomes ever more capable of advanced tasks. d. these aren’t examples of computers “stealing” jobs; they are cases where computers helped some workers take work from others. workers with computers frequently substitute workers in non - computerized jobs. e. some of my research shows that the net affect, across the economy is a wash: computers create about as many jobs as they eliminate. in other words, automation is not causing persistent unemployment.

Explanation:

1. Without the full - text, it's impossible to determine the exact paragraphs. But we need to find where the idea of workers learning new skills due to automation is discussed.
2. Automation benefits include cost - reduction (a), higher accuracy (c), and greater efficiency (e). Option b is not a direct benefit mentioned in general automation discussions. Option d is a requirement rather than a benefit. Option f is a negative impact.
3. Without the actual paragraph 3, we can't be sure. But option b seems a likely purpose as it balances the accuracy and cost - saving aspects of computers.
4. Options d and e support the idea that the author isn't overly worried as they show automation isn't causing persistent job losses and isn't "stealing" jobs.
