Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #6351 Superintelligence
Instructions ›
Below is a text with blanks. Click on each blank, a list of choices will appear. Select the appropriate choice for each blank.
A  superintelligence  is  any  intellect  that  vastly  outperforms  the  best  human  brains  in  practically  every  field,  including  scientific  creativity,  general  wisdom,  and  social  skills.  This  definition  leaves  open  how  the  superintelligence  is    –  it  could  be  in  a  digital  computer,  an  ensemble  of  networked  computers,  cultured  cortical  tissue,  or  something  else.
On  this  definition,  Deep  Blue  is  not  a  superintelligence,  since  it  is  only  smart  within  one  narrow  domain  (chess),  and  even  there  it  is  not  vastly  superior    the  best  humans.  Entities  such  as  corporations  or  the  scientific  community  are  not  superintelligences  either.  Although  they  can  perform  a  number  of  intellectual  feats    which  no  individual  human  is  capable,  they  are  not    integrated  to  count  as  “intellects”,  and  there  are  many  fields  in  which  they  perform  much  worse  than  single  humans.  For  example,  you  cannot  have  a  real-time  conversation  with  “the  scientific  community”.

Correct answer: implemented

Explanation: The word 'implemented' fits grammatically as it indicates the action of putting something into effect, which aligns with the context of how superintelligence can be realized or established. It is the correct verb form that matches the passive construction of the sentence, indicating the state of being put into practice.

Meaning: 'Implemented' means to put a plan or idea into action or effect, referring to how superintelligence can be realized in various forms.

Wrong options:

  • popular: 'Popular' refers to being well-liked or widely accepted, which does not fit the context of how superintelligence is established or realized.
  • working: 'Working' implies functioning or operating, but it does not convey the sense of actual establishment or realization as required in this context.
  • evaluated: 'Evaluated' means assessed or judged, which does not align with the context of how superintelligence is created or put into practice.
Correct answer: to

Explanation: The preposition 'to' is used to indicate comparison, which is necessary in this context to show the relationship between Deep Blue and the best humans. It correctly follows the comparative structure of the sentence, indicating a standard of comparison.

Meaning: 'To' in this context indicates a comparison, suggesting that Deep Blue is not vastly superior when compared to the best human players.

Wrong options:

  • than: 'Than' is typically used in comparative structures but does not fit grammatically here as it would require a different sentence structure.
  • then: 'Then' refers to time and does not fit the context of comparison being made in this sentence.
  • on: 'On' does not convey the necessary comparative relationship and is not appropriate in this context.
Correct answer: of

Explanation: The preposition 'of' is used to indicate belonging or association, which fits well in this context to describe the intellectual feats that are characteristic of corporations or the scientific community. It correctly links the feats to the entities being discussed.

Meaning: 'Of' indicates that the intellectual feats belong to or are associated with the entities mentioned, emphasizing their capabilities.

Wrong options:

  • for: 'For' suggests purpose or benefit, which does not fit the context of describing the feats associated with the entities.
  • to: 'To' implies direction or relationship but does not convey the sense of belonging or association needed here.
  • so: 'So' is used to indicate a consequence or result, which does not fit the context of describing the feats.
Correct answer: sufficiently

Explanation: The adverb 'sufficiently' modifies the adjective 'integrated', indicating the degree to which the entities are integrated. It fits grammatically and contextually, as it describes the level of integration required to be considered an intellect.

Meaning: 'Sufficiently' means to an adequate degree, indicating that the integration of these entities is not enough to classify them as intellects.

Wrong options:

  • suffice: 'Suffice' is a verb meaning to be enough, which does not fit grammatically as it cannot modify 'integrated'.
  • sufficient: 'Sufficient' is an adjective and cannot correctly modify 'integrated' in this context, which requires an adverb.
  • suffering: 'Suffering' refers to experiencing pain or distress, which is unrelated to the context of integration and does not fit grammatically.
