Why does the passage imply that using a machine to do autobiography is not practical?

• A. It is not practical to use a machine to do autobiography
• B. It is too expensive to program a machine
• C. Too much work is involved in instructing the machine
• D. Machines cannot understand biography

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that the impracticality comes from how much work it would take to teach a machine to write an autobiography. A machine would need a huge amount of detailed input—every important life event, the exact sequence of experiences, relationships, dates, and the author’s personal voice and perspective—and then it would require ongoing tweaking to capture tone, nuance, and truth. That level of instruction and refinement is enormous, making the task impractical even if the technology could handle parts of it. The other options miss the point: the passage isn’t primarily about cost, or about machines’ ability to understand biography, but about the vast effort required to instruct the machine to produce a faithful autobiography.
