Here are the answers to the questions based on the passage provided.
A. What evidence does the author offer to support that automation can be beneficial for humans?
The author states that because of automation, "Clothing, cars, and other manufactured products are available at good prices in large supply." This shows that automation helps make things cheaper and easier to get for people.
B. Is there any evidence in the paragraph that states automation may not be the best for humanity? If yes, state the evidence. If not, state your reasoning.
Yes, there is evidence. The text says that "there are over 700,000 robots in America that do the jobs once performed by humans." This supports the idea that it might not be the best for humanity because machines are taking away jobs that people used to do.
Final Answer:
A: The author points out that clothing, cars, and other products are available in large supplies and at good prices because of automation.
B: Yes. The evidence is that over 700,000 robots in America are doing jobs that were once performed by humans.
