If the original set is correct, please select option E as your answer.

Q: Answer-In the question below, a statement has three words highlighted in bold, which may or may not be corr...

Solution The sentences intended idea is to express optimism about weak AI systems optimistically contributing to social justice, with algorithms being capable of eliminating bias, achieving fairness beyond human reach. The original words in bold are incorrect because hopelessly implies a lack of hope or effectiveness, which contradicts the optimism expressed unbiased is contradictory to refer to the errors AI seeks to avoid and just is awkward and incomplete as an adjective in this context. Option B Ostensibly seemingly introduces doubt and impulsive acting without thinking does not fit the logical nature of algorithms, while dispassionateness lack of emotion is totally irrelevant. Option C Extensively widely and impartiality fairness could fit, but partisan showing bias contradicts the goal of eliminating bias. Option D Vicariously indirectly is irrelevant contextually, fallacious based on a mistaken belief contradicts the positive intention, and detachment lack of involvement does not capture the fairness AI aims to achieve. Option A Positively in a good way fits the optimism, biased showing favouritism reflects what AI seeks to eliminate, and objectivity neutrality aligns perfectly with the goal of fairness. Hence, option A is correct.

A positively, biased, objectivity Correct Incorrect

B ostensibly, impulsive, dispassionateness Correct Incorrect

C extensively, partisan, impartiality Correct Incorrect

D vicariously, fallacious, detachment Correct Incorrect

Detailed Solution

Solution The sentence's intended idea is to express optimism about weak AI systems optimistically contributing to social justice, with algorithms being capable of eliminating bias, achieving fairness beyond human reach. The original words in bold are incorrect because 'hopelessly' implies a lack of hope or effectiveness, which contradicts the optimism expressed; 'unbiased' is contradictory to refer to the errors AI seeks to avoid; and 'just' is awkward and incomplete as an adjective in this context. Option B: 'Ostensibly' (seemingly) introduces doubt and 'impulsive' (acting without thinking) does not fit the logical nature of algorithms, while 'dispassionateness' (lack of emotion) is totally irrelevant. Option C: 'Extensively' (widely) and ‘impartiality' (fairness) could fit, but 'partisan' (showing bias) contradicts the goal of eliminating bias. Option D: 'Vicariously' (indirectly) is irrelevant contextually, 'fallacious' (based on a mistaken belief) contradicts the positive intention, and 'detachment' (lack of involvement) does not capture the fairness AI aims to achieve. Option A: 'Positively' (in a good way) fits the optimism, 'biased' (showing favouritism) reflects what AI seeks to eliminate, and 'objectivity' (neutrality) aligns perfectly with the goal of fairness. Hence, option A is correct.
