The idea that you can increase your emotional intelligence by broadening your emotion vocabulary is grounded in neuroscience. Your brain is not static; it rewires itself with experience. When you learn new emotion words, you sculpt your brain’s micro wiring, giving it the means to construct new emotional experiences. And the more emotions that you know, the more finely your brain can construct emotional meaning automatically from other people’s actions.
The option “every emotion word you learn is a new tool for future emotional intelligence” sums up the main idea of the paragraph since the paragraph says “When you learn new emotion words, you sculpt your brain’s micro wiring, giving it the means to construct new emotional experiences. And the more emotions that you know, the more finely your brain can construct emotional meaning automatically from other people’s actions.”

_________________________________________________. For example, two of the world’s best-loved and most abiding narratives – The Lord of the Rings and the Narnia series – invoke values that were familiar in the middle ages but are generally considered repulsive today. Disorder in these stories is characterized by the usurpation of rightful kings or their rightful heirs; justice and order rely on their restoration. We find ourselves cheering the resumption of autocracy, the destruction of industry and even, in the case of Narnia, the triumph of divine right over secular power.
Choose the option which fits in best in the given blank:
The paragraph talks about “the world’s best-loved and most abiding narratives – The Lord of the Rings and the Narnia series – invoke values that were familiar in the middle ages but are generally considered repulsive today”. The option says that stories can be so powerful that they make readers overlook the fact that the values that they are based on, such as the resumption of autocracy and the 'divine right' to rule, are unfamiliar.

We have good reason, of course, to be cynical about the morality of politicians. But if money alone was sufficient to buy the loyalty of legislators, there would be serial instability. Too many politicians, to paraphrase Oscar Wilde, can resist everything but temptation.

_________________________________________________. When asked to think of a random number between 1 and 10, most people will think of 7. This response is determined by arithmetic. The numbers 1 and 10 don't feel random enough; neither does 5, which is right in the middle; nor do 2 and the even numbers, which are factors or multiples of others. The number 7 emerges the winner more often than not, since it is the only number that cannot be divided or multiplied within the first 10.
Choose the option which fits in best in the given blank:
The option “Seven feels more random and elusive, because – arithmetically speaking – it is” seems to be the best choice as the paragraph says that number 7 is chosen more often than not, as it isn't the first, middle or the last one, and it is the only number that cannot be divided or multiplied in the first 10.

We would do better to worry about what humans might do with Artificial Intelligence (AI), rather than what it might do by itself. We humans are far more likely to deploy intelligent systems against each other, or to become over-reliant on them. As in the fable of the sorcerer’s apprentice, if AIs do cause harm, it’s more likely to be because we give them well-meaning but ill-thought-through goals – not because they wish to conquer us.
According to the author, we should be more worried about the harm humans can cause by handling AI systems wrongly than about the harm AI systems might, on their own, cause humans. Humans are likely to deploy AIs against each other, or become over reliant on them, or give them ill-conceived goals, and these actions, might, in turn, make AI harmful to us. 'natural stupidity' is 'the greatest risk', summarises the main idea of the paragraph, and is hence the best one to complete it.
