Fill in the blanks with the appropriate article.
Although ______ emergence of artificial intelligence promises significant benefits, it also raises ______ host of ethical dilemmas.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) the, a
SSC Key (d) · सही उत्तर (Correct answer) (b)
Concept (Articles: The, and A Host Of)
SSC की key D (the, the) है, परंतु सही उत्तर B (the, a) है। 'The emergence of artificial intelligence' में पहला article the सही है, क्योंकि यहाँ एक विशिष्ट विकास की बात है। दूसरे खाली स्थान में 'a host of' एक स्थापित वाक्यांश है जिसका अर्थ है बहुत-सी या अनेक।
✓ सही वाक्य: Although the emergence of artificial intelligence promises significant benefits, it also raises a host of ethical dilemmas.
Examiner’s Trap यह है कि SSC की key D 'the host of' देती है, जो इस अर्थ में प्रचलित नहीं है; 'a host of' ही स्थापित वाक्यांश है।
SSC Key (d) · Correct answer (b)
Concept (Articles: The, and A Host Of) SSC's key is D (the, the), but the correct answer is B (the, a). In 'The emergence of artificial intelligence' the first article the is correct, since a particular emergence is meant. In the second blank, a host of is an established phrase meaning a great many (Oxford, Cambridge).
✓ Correct sentence Although the emergence of artificial intelligence promises significant benefits, it also raises a host of ethical dilemmas.
Examiner's Trap SSC's key D gives 'the host of', which is not current in this sense; 'a host of' is the established phrase.
