Correct answers:


1. The correct answer is (b) enhance, which means to improve or augment the quality, value, or extent of something. This choice is logical because the context suggests that AI should positively impact productivity. The other options, (a) diminish (to reduce or lessen), (c) reduce (similar to diminish, means to make smaller or lesser), and (d) limit (to restrict or confine), all imply a decrease or constraint, contradicting the positive impact specified in the context.

2. The correct answer is (c) improve, meaning to make or become better. This option directly aligns with the desire to enhance efficiency through AI. (a) accelerate (to speed up) might seem like a suitable choice, but it specifically relates to speed. (b) obstruct (to block or impede) and (d) degrade (to lower in dignity or estimation; to reduce) obviously introduce negative outcomes, which are inconsistent with the context's positive tone.

3. The correct answer is (a) complex because it signifies something composed of many interconnected parts, suggesting a higher level of difficulty or sophistication. This contrasts with (b) straightforward (easy to do or understand), (c) innovative (featuring new methods; advanced and original), and (d) menial (not requiring much skill and lacking prestige), which do not effectively convey the implied higher value of human creativity and critical thinking over AI's capabilities.

4. The correct answer is (c) responsibly because it implies moral accountability in implementing AI. This selection underscores the need for ethical considerations. (a) recklessly (without care or attention), (b) forcefully (using force or power, potentially implying coercion or lack of consent), and (d) carelessly (in a way that shows a lack of attention) suggest an action that could lead to negative consequences or disregard ethical obligations.

5. The correct answer is (c) prepare, which means to make ready or able for a specific purpose. This term fits the context of equipping workers for changes, reflecting a proactive and supportive approach. In contrast, (a) demote (to reduce to a lower rank), (b) abandon (to leave completely and finally), and (d) neglect (to pay no attention or too little attention to, or disregard) all indicate actions that would contradict the supportive intent communicated by the correct answer.
