artificial intelligence (ai) refers to the intelligence of machines. the term also refers to the developing field of computer science that is responsible for creating intelligent machines. scientists and engineers are working on computer software intended to imitate the human thought process, such as learning and reasoning. a computer can already do some things better than people, such as store information, solve numerical problems, and complete repetitive tasks. computers have been able to perform these kinds of tasks by using algorithms, which are clearly defined sets of instructions. in contrast, ai software only presents a problem to the computer, not the steps necessary to solve the problem. the computer itself determines how to solve the problem. ai programs contain two essential components. first, the computer program must contain a knowledge base that includes different types of information, such as facts, concepts, and theories. the second component is enabling the computer to draw inferences, which means that the computer can form a conclusion based on facts and knowledge. in this scenario, a computer with ai intelligence is presented with a problem to be solved. the computer then searches its knowledge base for specific conditions or patterns that fit the problem to be solved. this ability of ai programs to solve a problem based on facts rather than on a fixed series of steps is what mimics the thought process of a human brain. whether or not a computer can really think is still up for debate, even though there are numerous examples of machines that can be said to resemble human intelligence. for example, ibm developed deep blue, a chess-playing computer that defeated garry kasparov in 1997. however, even these kinds of computer programs are limited because they can only do what they have been programmed to do. most scientists and researchers agree that machines currently lack the subtlety and range of human thought. however, as ai technology develops, more questions and debate will surely arise. the most important issue going forward is how ai technology can best serve the humans who created it.

Ajourney with my father adapted from my reminiscences by sir rabindranath tagore probably in order to teach me to be careful, my father placed a little small change in my charge and required me to keep an account of it. he also entrusted me with the duty of winding his valuable gold watch for him. he overlooked the risk of damage in his desire to train me to a sense of responsibility. when we went out together for our morning walk, he would ask me to give alms to any beggars we came across. but i never could render him a proper account at the end of it. one day, my balance was larger than the account warranted. "i really must make you my cashier," observed my father. "money seems to have a way of growing in your hands! " that watch of his i wound up with such indefatigable1 zeal that it had very soon to be sent to the watchmaker's in calcutta. i am reminded of the time when, later in life, i was appointed to manage the estate and had to lay before my father, owing to his failing eyesight, a statement of accounts on the second or third of every month. i had first to read out the totals under each head, and if he had any doubts on any point, he would ask for the details. if i made any attempt to slur over or keep out of sight any item which i feared he would not like, it was sure to come out. so, these first few days of the month were very anxious ones for me. as i have said, my father had the habit of keeping everything clearly before his mind—whether figures of accounts, or ceremonial arrangements, or additions or alterations to property. he had never seen the new assembly hall built at bolpur, and yet, he was familiar with every detail of it from questioning those who came to see him after a visit to bolpur. he had an extraordinary memory, and when once he got hold of a fact, it never escaped him. my father asked me to copy the favourite verses, with their translation, from the book he liked reading every day. at home, i had been a boy of no account. here, when these important functions were entrusted to me, i felt the glory of the situation. 1. tireless 7 how does the narrator support the idea that his father keeps everything clearly before his mind? a. by giving the example of his father's response when his account did not tally with the money that he had in hand b. by mentioning that his father was interested in everything that happened around him c. by giving the example of his father knowing every detail of the new assembly hall at bolpur d. by mentioning that his father had marked his favorite verses from his favorite book
