Quantum computing harnesses quantum-mechanical phenomena to process information exponentially faster than classical systems. (18) __________, traditional binary bits are superseded by quantum bits (qubits), which exist in superposition states. This paradigm shift enables parallel computation of vast solution spaces. (19) __________, maintaining qubit coherence remains the foremost engineering challenge. Environmental decoherence disrupts quantum states within microseconds. Consequently, quantum computers operate near absolute zero temperatures. (20) __________, error rates would render calculations meaningless. Theoretical breakthroughs suggest topological qubits could circumvent this limitation. (21) __________, quantum systems achieve fault tolerance through braided anyons in two- dimensional fields. (22) __________, scalable quantum computers might solve currently intractable problems in cryptography and drug discovery.

This approach materialized Read the following passage about epigenetics and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30. Epigenetics – the study of heritable phenotype changes not involving DNA sequence alterations – has overturned deterministic views of genetic inheritance. Environmental factors like diet, stress, and toxins can activate methyl groups or histone modifications, silencing or expressing genes across generations. Famine survivors’ descendants exhibiting metabolic disorders exemplify transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
4 Clinical applications are revolutionary. Epigenetic biomarkers enable early cancer detection when tumors are undetectable by conventional imaging. Demethylating agents reactivate tumor-suppressor genes in leukemia, achieving remission where chemotherapy fails. Paradoxically, these therapies risk destabilizing the genome by indiscriminately reversing epigenetic silencing. Methodological challenges persist. Current sequencing techniques cannot simultaneously map all epigenetic modifications in single cells. Moreover, distinguishing causal epigenetic changes from correlative ones requires longitudinal studies spanning decades. Machine learning algorithms now predict modification patterns by analyzing chromatin accessibility data, accelerating discovery. Ethical quandaries emerge. Epigenetic editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9 could potentially "reset" harmful environmental legacies but might inadvertently erase adaptive responses. Legal frameworks struggle to classify non-sequence-based inheritance, challenging patent laws and bioethics guidelines. As epigenetic therapies near commercialization, equitable access debates intensify. (Adapted from Nature Reviews Genetics) Question 23. Which best paraphrases the underlined sentence? A. Metabolic disorders in descendants prove environmental stressors alter DNA sequences heritably. B. Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance is demonstrated when famine survivors’ offspring develop metabolic conditions. C.

[I] Dark matter – the invisible substance governing cosmic structure formation – comprises 85% of the universe’s mass, yet defies direct detection. [II] Its gravitational effects are irrefutable: galaxies rotate faster than visible mass allows, and light bends around cosmic voids.
