In the following paragraph, fill in the blanks with words given as options.
The
advent of robotics marks one of the most profound technological transformations
of the modern age. It has gradually become an ............................1. (superfluous, incidental, integral, essential, ) component of industrial
production, scientific research, healthcare, defence, agriculture and even
domestic life. In manufacturing industries, robots can undertake intricate
operations with extraordinary precision and consistency. In medicine, robotic
technology assists surgeons in performing minimally........................... 2. (invasive, extrusive, superficial, necessary, internal)
procedures. In space exploration and disaster management, they venture where
human life would be exposed to unacceptable risks. In agriculture, logistics
and infrastructure maintenance too it is similarly........................3. ( perpetuating, transforming, stagnating, implying,) conventional
methods of production and service delivery.
Technological
advancement has no doubt historically generated new occupations but it rendered
certain professions obsolete. The accelerating sophistication of intelligent
machines may make this transition considerably more disruptive. Workers whose livelihoods
depend upon routine ..............................4. (cognitive, emotional, instinctive,
physical) or manual tasks may find themselves competing with
machines that are faster, cheaper and capable of operating without fatigue and
with more precision.
An
even more ..................................5. ( trivial, insignificant,
imperative, profound) concern arises when robots are integrated with
autonomous decision-making systems. Determining accountability becomes
exceedingly complicated, if a machine is entrusted with decisions affecting
human safety, justice or personal privacy,. A machine may execute an algorithm
flawlessly while nevertheless producing an outcome that is ethically
questionable. Consequently, technological capability must not be mistaken for
moral judgment. The fact that a machine can make a decision does not

independently.
Despite
various challenges, rejecting robotics altogether would neither be realistic
nor desirable. The objective should be to establish a harmonious relationship
between human intelligence and machine efficiency. Robots should augment human
capabilities rather than indiscriminately replace human beings.
Robots
are a reflection of human ingenuity, not an independent destiny imposed upon
humanity. Technology may create the
future, but it is humanity that must determine what that future ought to be. They
are capable of interpreting their surroundings, adapting to changing
circumstances and performing tasks that were ............................7. traditionally, radically, originally, innovatively) regarded as
exclusively human.

Economic growth, though frequently regarded as an unequivocal indicator of national progress, becomes a questionable measure of prosperity when the benefits generated by expanding production remain disproportionately concentrated among a relatively small section of society. A country may simultaneously witness unprecedented technological advancement, rising corporate profitability, and increasing aggregate income while large sections of its population continue to struggle with inadequate education, precarious employment, unaffordable housing, and limited access to essential services. Unless economic policies are accompanied by effective mechanisms for equitable distribution, social mobility, and the creation of productive employment, growth itself may paradoxically intensify the inequalities that threaten social cohesion, rather than creating the broad-based prosperity that policymakers claim to pursue.
