Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. Are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it may be a challenge for robots to have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9-16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. [I] Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings with clients, and update calendars. [II] Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. [III] If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best. [IV]

What is the main idea of the passage?

Why experts believe human teachers will be completely replaced by 2027
The reasons why teachers all over the world are leaving their profession
Robots being already more efficient than human doctors and teachers
The potential benefits of integrating robots into the field of education

According to paragraph 1, why might some patients prefer robots over human doctors?

They feel certain because robots don't get tired or stressed during the session.
They are diagnosed at much higher accuracy compared to human doctors.
They are more easily connected with robot doctors on an emotional level.
They feel more relaxed when they share personal details with a machine.

The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _____.

intelligent robots
movements
students' faces
brain signals

What is mentioned in paragraph 2 as a likely limitation of robots?

Their inability to adjust educational content to individual students
Their failure to promote genuine connection compared to humans
Their lack of technology to communicate information to students
Their incomprehension of empathy and students facial movements

According to paragraph 3, robots could help solve the teacher shortage because _____.

they can teach children who are not allowed to go to school
they can teach 9-16 per cent more students than humans
they are more popular than human teachers among children
they do not suffer from stress or physical exhaustion

Why does the author mention 'office workers' in the final paragraph?

To imply that robots will eventually replace office workers before they replace teachers
To argue that teachers should be provided with the same software used in offices
To provide a comparison of how automation can handle administrative burdens
To suggest that teaching is a more difficult profession than corporate office work

What word is CLOSEST in meaning to 'cut' in the final paragraph?

divide
stop
remove
reduce

In which place in the final paragraph does the following sentence best fit?
By assigning these tasks to robots, educators could focus on mentoring and inspiring their pupils.
