8. Children watching television experience a procession of sights and sounds, which flash from the screen. These sights and sounds flash for such a short period of time that the eyes and ears are just able to take them in. Unlike televison images, the pages of a book can be read at the pace a child wants. Television images appear with a relentless velocity stunting rather than enhancing the child’s powers of imagination.
   
   The above discussion is based on an assumption. From the below mentioned statements which is the best option for that assumption?

   (A) Children prefer to read rather than to watch television if they are allowed to choose a form of entertainment.
   (B) Only a child who has access to both television and books will have a properly stimulated imagination.
   (C) When a child is able to control the pace of his or her entertainment, then alone is his imagination able to develop fully.
   (D) As soon as children are able to comprehend what they see on television, they should be taught to read.
   (E) As every child is different a child’s reaction to various forms of sensory stimuli cannot be predicted.
   

9. In order to make sense of statements they hear or speak, speakers of a language rely on their general knowledge of the world. It is easy to ‘teach’ computers the formal rules of a human language, but to supply them with this general knowledge is quite another matter. Development of computers which can extract the meaning of ordinary sentences is extremely difficult.
   
   Among the following which can be validly inferred from the above discussion?

   (A) Interpretation of the meaning of ordinary sentences depends on the general knowledge of the world.
   (B) The computers which can be "taught" the rules of a human language can understand statements made in that language.
   (C) Trying to teach computers the formal rules of any language is futile.
   (D) To understand simple sentences speakers of a language often have to reject the formal rules of that language.
   (E) Computers which can understand ordinary sentences have all the basic capabilities necessary to become "speakers" of the language.
