Passage

In recent years, the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has transformed not only industries but also the fundamental way humans interact with technology. While AI systems promise efficiency and innovation, they also raise serious ethical concerns that cannot be ignored. One major issue is the potential loss of jobs, as machines increasingly replace human labor in both skilled and unskilled sectors. Moreover, the use of AI in surveillance has led to debates about privacy and personal freedom. Governments and corporations can now collect vast amounts of data, often without individuals’ full awareness or consent.

Another significant concern is algorithmic bias. AI systems are trained on existing data, which may contain hidden prejudices. As a result, these systems can unintentionally reinforce discrimination in areas such as hiring, law enforcement, and lending. Despite these challenges, proponents argue that AI can be used responsibly if proper regulations and ethical guidelines are established. They emphasize the importance of transparency, accountability, and human oversight in AI development.

Ultimately, the future of artificial intelligence depends on how society chooses to balance technological advancement with moral responsibility. Without careful management, the very tools designed to improve human life could instead create new forms of inequality and risk.

A. Answer the Following Questions

  1. How has artificial intelligence changed human interaction with technology?
  2. What is one major problem caused by AI in the job market?
  3. Why is AI in surveillance considered dangerous?
  4. What is algorithmic bias?
  5. What do supporters of AI suggest to reduce its risks?

B. True or False

  1. AI has only affected industries, not human interaction.
  2. AI can sometimes increase discrimination.
  3. All AI systems are completely fair and unbiased.
  4. Ethical guidelines can help control AI risks.
  5. AI has no connection with privacy issues.

✅ SET 2

Passage

In recent years, Nepal has witnessed a significant shift in its political and social landscape, largely driven by the rising influence of Generation Z. This young and dynamic group, born in the digital age, has demonstrated an unprecedented level of awareness, activism, and engagement in national affairs. Unlike previous generations, Gen Z in Nepal is more connected through social media platforms, which they use as powerful tools to express their opinions, mobilize support, and challenge traditional power structures.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this revolution is the growing demand for transparency, accountability, and good governance. Frustrated by long-standing issues such as corruption, unemployment, and political instability, young people have begun to question established political parties and leaders. In major cities, independent candidates and new political figures have gained popularity, largely due to the active support of youth voters who seek change and innovation.

Furthermore, Gen Z has played a crucial role in raising awareness about social issues, including gender equality, environmental protection, and mental health. Through campaigns, protests, and digital activism, they have influenced public discourse and policy decisions. However, critics argue that this generation sometimes relies too heavily on online activism without sufficient practical involvement.

Despite these challenges, the impact of Gen Z in Nepal cannot be underestimated. Their determination to create a more inclusive, transparent, and progressive society signals a transformative period in the nation’s history.

English practice questions

                     COMPULSORY ENGLISH   1. Read the part of the poem and do the task. 5 Past and Present I remember, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn; He never came a wink too soon Nor brought too long a day; But now, I often wish the night Had borne my breath away I remember, I remember The roses, red and white, The violets, and the lily-cups Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday, The tree is living yet! I remember, I remember Where I was used to swing, And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing; My spirit flew in feathers then That is so heavy now, And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow.                     ...
