Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are revolutionizing medicine, especially in areas like disease diagnosis and surgical procedures. Robotic surgical systems, like the da Vinci Surgical System, assist human surgeons in performing minimally invasive surgeries, offering precision and efficiency. While AI-powered robots can process vast amounts of data and learn from previous surgeries, the key question is whether they can fully replace human surgeons. Al's potential lies in its ability to navigate surgeries with remarkable precision, reducing human error, fatigue, and emotional influence, which results in quicker recovery and improved patient outcomes.
Al-powered robots can also help address the shortage of experienced surgeons and improve healthcare availability. Although implementing robotic systems is costly, their long-term benefits, including fewer surgeries and reduced healthcare costs, may ultimately make them more cost-effective. However, significant challenges remain. One of the main concerns is the human element in surgery. Patients rely on their surgeons for empathy, clear communication, and comfort, which Al robots currently cannot provide. There are also legal questions surrounding responsibility in case of complications during surgery- whether it should fall on the surgeon, AI developers, or the hospital.
Additionally, AI systems depend on high-quality, unbiased data to make accurate decisions. If the data used for training is flawed, it could lead to safety risks. There are also concerns about cybersecurity, as AI-powered robots connected to networks could be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Moreover, the high upfront costs of robotic systems may limit their availability to certain medical facilities, deepening healthcare disparities.
Despite these challenges, many experts believe AI and robotics will complement rather than replace surgeons. Al can assist by providing guidance during surgeries, performing repetitive tasks, and improving accuracy, allowing human surgeons to focus on more complex aspects. The future of surgery may involve a collaborative approach, where AI and human surgeons work together, combining Al's precision with human empathy and judgment. Balancing the benefits of AI with the ethical and emotional complexities it presents will be crucial in shaping the future of healthcare.

Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
[I] In what conservationists are describing as a turning point, the ambitious Greater Mekong Wildlife Bridge Project has faced an unforeseen obstacle. [II] Despite an unprecedented 50 million USD investment, the migrating elephant populations have decreased by 35% since it was launched. [III] These statistics have sent shockwaves through the conservation community, challenging long-held assumptions about wildlife corridor effectiveness. [IV]
The idea of wildlife corridors has long captivated conservationists. By creating protected pathways between fragmented habitats, these artificial lifelines were meant to ensure species survival. However, underlying this seemingly flawless approach is a more complicated reality. As human expansion intrudes upon these corridors, animals find themselves playing Russian roulette with each crossing, facing life threatening risks from poachers who have caught wind of these predictable migration routes.
Recent findings from the Southeast Asian Conservation Institute showed a worrying situation. When faced with human disturbance, elephants altered their migration patterns, venturing into unprotected areas. These behavioral adaptations proved catastrophic poaching incidents increased by 180% in these areas. The findings have left conservationists deeply concerned about the unintended consequences of their well- intentioned interventions.
The economic implications of corridor conservation add another layer of complexity to an already challenging issue. Local communities, stuck in a difficult position, often view these projects with skepticism. Traditional farming practices fall by the wayside as authorities implement strict land-use regulations. While compensation schemes exist on paper, they rarely translate into adequate financial support for affected communities.
Conservation biologists have begun advocating for a paradigm shift in approach. Rather than imposing artificial corridors, they propose integrating wildlife passages into existing human infrastructure. This strategy has already proven successful in countries like Malaysia, where elevated highways incorporate natural underpasses. These structures allow for wildlife movement while maintaining human activity above, creating a win-win situation for all stakeholders.
Yet the jury is still out on the long-term viability of such solutions. Critics argue that these modified corridors merely paper over the cracks of a deeper issue - humanity's relentless expansion into natural habitats. As urban sprawl continues unabated, even these innovative approaches may prove to be nothing more than a band-aid on a gaping wound.
Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
Global conservation experts are; therefore, reconsidering the large-scale wildlife protection investments.

The integration of wildlife passages with existing human infrastructure should replace the creation of artificial corridors.
Scientists intend to substitute incorporating animal crossings into present infrastructure for building separate routes.
By incorporating wildlife crossings into current infrastructure, we eliminate the need for separate artificial corridors.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
Elevated highways with natural underpasses create beneficial outcomes for stakeholders.
