Q: Answer- In the question given below, a passage is given followed by three statements which may or may not b...

The given situation tells us of a study which observed that fake news was spread more by humans than real stories. It also tells us that robots spread the true and fake news equally fast. 1 can be inferred as the difference of activity between humans and robots clearly shows that the quicker spreading of fake news is attributed to humans, not robots. 2 can be inferred as this is the main finding of the study. Thus, e is the right answer. 3 cannot be inferred as there is insufficient data to conclude this. At best, we can say that the robots treat the true and fake news equally. Whether or not they can distinguish between the two, is unknown.

followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. A study, published in the journal Science observed 125,000 stories that were tweeted by 3 million people, more than 4.5 million times. Using six independent fact-checking organizations, the researchers decided whether the stories that were retweeted were true or false. The top 1% of false news diffused to upto 100,000 people while true news only reached 1,000 people. Surprisingly, robots treated both true and false news equally and accelerated both at the same rate. 1. The agility of fake news owes more to humans than robots. 2. Rumours and fake news spread more within social networks than true stories. 3. Robots are able to distinguish between real and fake news.
