about in the daytime. They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth

leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in
business and society; besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies
have the potential to transform many aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At
educational institutes, marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work.
Teachers often find that grading takes up a considerable amount of time which can be
used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at present, may not be able to
actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close. Nearly all kinds of
multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-driven
machines, and automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-
grading softwares are still in their infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the
coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional
development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs
based on artificial intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of
mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc. With the rapid pace of technological
advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can help students
learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream.
Moreover, Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools,
especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress.
These systems not only offer students advice on individual courses but also help students
choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom
activities. In the next decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers
both teacher and students a much wider range of services.
