The writer wants to change the passage so that it is appropriate for an audience of robotics engineers. Which of the following s
entences would be most appropriate for the writer to add after sentence 4 in light of this intended audience? A. And what might science fiction tell us about the future of artificial intelligence?
B. And how might our legal system have to change in light of advances in robotics?
C. Or, indeed, is it wiser not to do so?
D. And how should we design robots in light of these concerns?
E. And what do advances in psychology tell us about the nature of intelligence?
D. And how should we design robots in light of these concerns?
Explanation:
Answer D
Correct. This choice directly addresses the concerns of robotics engineers by adding a rhetorical question specifically about how the topic of the passage—the emotional connections that humans make with robots—relates to their professional concern with how robots should be designed. Although several of the other choices may be of some interest to members of an audience of robotics engineers, this choice is the most directly relevant to their concerns.
