c. were the well established art dealers 
d. decided to stop holding exhibitions altogether 
e. resorted to all sorts of methods of attracting large crowds to their galleries 
Computers should never have acquired the exalted status they now have. Fascinating and invaluable as 
they are, even the most advanced have less brain power than a three-year-old. But, they do, score on 
single-mindedness. The three-year-old uses his brain not only to think but also to do tasks like seeing, 
hearing and running about, which need incredibly rapid and sophisticated electromechanical interactions we 
too run on electricity. However the computer just sits there and sends spacecraft to the moon or re-
organizes the world banking system-which is very much easier. That's why man's dream of robot servants is 
still a long way off.

c. reaches its maximum efficiency at the age of three 
d. is not as complicated and mysterious as has usually been thought 
e. has been entirely reproduced in computer form 
8. It is mentioned in the passage that the efficiency of the computer ............ . 
a. will soon make it possible for man to be served by robots 
b. depends on the speed with which the data are fed 
c. can best be appreciated in the decision making positions 
d. is the result of its being concentrated on one task at a time 
e. depends upon sophisticated electromechanical interactions 
9. The writer feels that computers .............. . 
a. are becoming unaffordable as they get more advanced 
b. have contributed immensely to the improvement of living standards 
c. have been unnecessarily overrated 
d. will be a major force behind all future progress 
e. are capable of doing all the tasks the human brain performs even more efficiently
