Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. accomplish a restricted set of tasks.
- The phrase "a maximum set of tasks" implies that machines can accomplish the highest possible number or variety of tasks, which may not accurately reflect their capabilities.
- Instead, using "accomplish a restricted set of tasks" better conveys the idea that machines have limitations in the types or number of tasks they can perform due to their lack of independent thought processes.
