Explanation
PASSAGE
A student is writing about artificial intelligence. The student wants to address concerns about job displacement. Notes: - AI could automate 25% of current jobs by 2030. - New technology historically creates new job categories. - AI excels at repetitive tasks but struggles with creativity. - The AI industry is expected to create 97 million new jobs.
Which choice most effectively uses information from the notes to accomplish the student's goal?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks you to effectively combine information to achieve a goal. The goal is to address job displacement concerns. Acknowledging 25% automation while noting 97 million new jobs directly addresses this concern. The correct synthesis will use relevant details from the notes in a logical, purposeful way. Focus on what the question asks you to accomplish, then choose the answer that best achieves that goal using the provided information. Effective synthesis requires selecting and combining the most relevant information to achieve a specific purpose. Not all provided notes may be equally useful. Focus on what best accomplishes the stated goal while maintaining logical coherence.
Key Evidence:
• "address concerns about job displacement"
• "automate 25% of jobs"
• "create 97 million new jobs"
Why others are wrong: D (General historical claim; doesn't provide specific data.), A (Discusses AI capabilities, not job impact.), B (Vague statement; doesn't address displacement concern specifically.).
