<span>The answers are the following:
1. The ancient Chinese board game
Go was invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.
2. </span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello,
three dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge and poker. Go, though,
was different.
The game requires intuition, strategising, character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience, qualities unique to human intelligence.
3. This week a computer called AlphaGo defeated the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It evolved as a player and taught itself.
That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.
Answer:
C. Declarative.
Explanation:
A declarative sentence is one that simply states or declares an opinion. In other words, a declarative sentence is one that expresses a statement or an opinion.
The given sentence "I wake up by eight every day" is a declarative sentence. It expresses the simple statement or a declaration of the speaker that he/she wakes up by 8 every day.
It is not an exclamatory sentence as it doesn't exclaim anything nor does it contain the exclamatory mark (!).
Again, it is not an optative sentence as it doesn't express a desire or an opinion.
Also, it is not an imperative sentence as it does not demand or express a command.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
B. Logos.
Explanation:
It is not ethos, since it does not appeal to ethics. The speaker is simply stating that the tradition should continue because it has continued in the past.
It is not pathos, since it does not appeal to the listener's emotions.
It is B. Logos. The speaker tries to use conservative logic to persuade the listener that America is where it is because Thanksgiving has been celebrated over the years.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
C. It includes humor and mistaken identities, but also suffering and
loss.
Explanation:
The reason The Tempest is hard to classify as a tragedy, romance, comedy or one of those easy buckets is that it includes themes from many genres. There is fantastical magic, but there are also murder plots. Therein lies the difficulty of classifying it, and the utter genius of Shakespeare.
All the other answer choices are wrong because these reasons wouldn't produce a difficulty in classification, even if they were correct.
