"The Automation Paradox" Paragraph 2

But these fears are misplaced—what’s happening with automation is not so simple or obvious. It turns out that workers will have greater employment opportunities if their occupation undergoes some degree of computer automation. As long as they can learn to use the new tools, automation will be their friend.

Which sentence from paragraph 2 of "The Automation Paradox" best supports James Bessen's claim?

a
It might seem a sure thing that automating a task would reduce employment in an occupation.
b
But not all of the news about computer automation is good.
c
It turns out that workers will have greater employment opportunities if their occupation undergoes some degree of computer automation.
d
Computers are now taking over tasks performed by professional workers, raising fears of massive unemployment.

Answer:

C. It turns out that workers will have greater employment opportunities if their occupation undergoes some degree of computer automation.

Explanation:

Many people fear automation, thinking that computers are taking over tasks performed by workers and that they could lead to unemployment (as stated in options A and D). But, according to James Bessen, that is incorrect. In the given paragraph he explicitly says that it turns out that workers will have greater employment opportunities if their occupation undergoes some degree of computer automation. That's good news about computer automation (option B is incorrect because this paragraph tells us about good, not bad news).

Thus, option C is the correct one.

Read the excerpt from "Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph." By this time, the word of Harriet Tubman’s bravery was beginning to spread. Many well-known people learned of her mission and got on board as well. Writers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott helped her, as did Susan B. Anthony. Some even allowed her to use their homes as stations. Meanwhile, Harriet’s fame also made her a target, and a large reward was offered for her capture and return to Maryland. The beginning of the Civil War in 1861 marked the end of Harriet’s Railroad work, but she did not retire. Instead, she joined the fight that would soon set all of her people free. At the request of Union leaders, she set out for South Carolina. There she nursed slaves who had been left behind when their owners fled Northern forces.

A. because she fled to South Carolina


B. because many people opposed her work
