Step by Step Written Solution
Hi Sinem, let's solve this reading comprehension question together. We need to determine which statement is correct according to the passage.
Question 1
This type of question requires us to evaluate each option against the facts provided in the text. Let's look at the first choice, Option A.
Option A\n*the idea of designing and producing a robot has a long history*
Let's find the parts of the passage that talk about the history of robots.
Analyzing Option A
"The notion of robots can be traced back to medieval times... As early as 270 BC an ancient engineer named Ctesibus made organs and water clocks with moveable figures."
The passage clearly states that the notion of robots goes all the way back to medieval times, and even as early as two hundred and seventy BC.
This perfectly matches Option A, which states that the idea of designing and producing a robot has a long history. Let's keep this as our primary candidate while we check the other options.
Let's examine Option B, which says that in two hundred and seventy BC, water clocks were made to affect peasants.
Evaluating Other Options
Option B\n*in 270 BC engineers made movable water clocks in order to affect peasants*
The text tells us that water clocks were made in two hundred and seventy BC, but it was in medieval times that automatons were used to impress peasant worshippers. So, Option B incorrectly mixes these two periods.
