UNIT 5: Reading Comprehension (Total Marks: 10)

Passage: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed modern medical diagnosis frameworks. Traditionally, clinicians relied solely on physical symptoms, manual laboratory blood reports, and baseline radiological scans to identify underlying diseases. This investigative method occasionally caused diagnostic delays or tracking errors due to human fatigue. Today, automated machine learning algorithms can analyze complex medical scans with incredible speed and accuracy. By comparing a patient's data with millions of digitized historical case records instantly, AI can flag tiny structural changes that might escape the human eye. However, bioethicists emphasize that technology should not replace doctors entirely. Instead, it must function as a secondary validation tool, combining raw computational power with human empathy and diagnostic experience.

31. What is the noun form of the verb "diagnose" used in the passage?

(A) Diagnosing
(B) Diagnosis
(C) Diagnosed
(D) Diagnostic

32. Find a word in the passage which means 'the capacity to understand and share the feelings of another'.

(A) Fatigue
(B) Validation
(C) Empathy
(D) Diagnosis

33. Change the voice: "Algorithms analyze medical scans."

(A) Medical scans are analyzed by algorithms.
(B) Medical scans were analyzed by algorithms.
(C) Medical scans have been analyzed by algorithms.
(D) Medical scans are analyzing by algorithms.

34. The antonym of the word "accurately" as used in the text is:

(A) Correctly
(B) Erroneously / Incorrectly

(D) Swiftly

35. Identify the tense of the phrase: "AI [can flag] tiny structural changes."

(A) Present potential or modal structure
(B) Simple Past
(C) Past Perfect

(A) Lack of running water inside clinics
(B) Human fatigue and manual processing limits
(C) Costly laboratory medicine charges
(D) Patient complaints

37. Automated machine learning engines spot diseases with speed by:

(A) Running blood tests repeatedly
(B) Instantly comparing records with millions of digitized historical cases
(C) Changing baseline machine voltages
(D) Asking patients questions

38. AI systems are useful because they can catch anomalies that might:

(A) Be completely non-existent
(B) Escape or miss the normal human eye
(C) Dissolve on their own
(D) Damage electronic computer files

39. According to bioethicists, what should be the ideal role of AI in medicine?

(A) Replacing human medical officers entirely inside large hospitals
(B) Serving as a secondary validation tool alongside human compassion and experience
(C) Managing administrative bank bill registries only
