Can someone tell me why B is an incorrect answer for question 2? The scientists' goal is not mentioned in the passage according to me.


Because it is no where mentioned that the engineers did not expect it to win. It did not win, but it does not mean they did not expect it to win.

I know its a late reply but posting it in a view that it may help some folks.

Official Explanation


2. According to the passage, the AI community did not view Deep Fritz’s draw as a failure because

Difficulty Level: Medium

Explanation

This is a supporting idea question. The answer is primarily in the third paragraph, in which the author states “But Deep Fritz’s chess playing abilities more closely resemble those of a person.” One of the goals of the AI researchers, as stated in the second paragraph, is to “make computers think more like people do,” so Deep Fritz’s performance was indicative of a more human-like approach. Choice A is not stated in the paragraph, while choice B is a good example of a choice with the right words but with the wrong meaning. Nothing in the passage supports choice D or choice E.

Answer: C

1. The main idea of the passage is that

Difficulty Level: Easy

Explanation

This is a main idea question. The first paragraph introduces the topic, which is AI applications. The second paragraph indicates that the “frivolous” chess programs provide a marker of the current state of AI technology. The final paragraph supports this by giving technical details of a recent AI application. Choice C is the best match for the passage. The other answer choices don’t go far enough; they detail parts of the passage but not their entire scope.

3. The author implies that human chess players

Difficulty Level: Hard

Explanation

This is an inference question. In order to answer this question, you need to find the part of the passage that discusses how human chess players play. While this information is not stated directly, the third paragraph is the key. The passage compares Deep Blue to Deep Fritz and states that Deep Fritz plays chess more than a human does. While Deep Blue uses its tremendous calculating ability, Deep Fritz relies on “advanced pattern recognition skills.” If Deep Fritz uses these abilities and plays as a person does, then the inference is that human chess players use pattern recognition, as choice D states.

Choice A is not implied by the passage; it might be true but it is not an inference.

Choice B goes too far because the passage only talks about two programs, not “most” chess programs.

Choice C is not supported by the passage, nor is choice E—all you know for sure is that one person tied Deep Fritz and one person lost to Deep Blue, but you can’t say in general how human chess players will perform.

Answer: D.

4. The primary purpose of the passage is to

Difficulty Level: Medium

Explanation

This is the main idea question. To answer a primary purpose question, think about why the author would write a particular passage. This passage is designed to explain how chess programs reveal the state of AI technology. Choice C best captures this purpose.

Choice A does not go far enough. The chess programs are examples of a larger point about AI—they are not the primary purpose.

Choice B is off base because the focus isn’t on what researchers should pursue.

Choice D is similar to choice A in that it focuses on detail but misses the larger point.

There is no long-held assumption mentioned, so choice E is out of scope.
