35. Charles Leadbeater: "The personal computer I am using to write this essay is composed of approximately
the same amount of plastic, gold, silicon, copper, and other metals as the computer I used five years ago. Both
pieces of equipment are fairly similar in weight and shape, but my present computer is twenty times more
powerful than my previous computer. This difference is due to human intelligence, which rearranges the
available materials in order to obtain more from them. This is the story of the economic growth that has
occurred in the modern era." According to Leadbeater, what is "the story of the economic growth that has
occurred in the modern era"?
a. Man's wiser use of available resources makes it possible to obtain more from them.

36. Fetal cells in the early stages of pregnancy are pluripotent cells, that is, they have the ability to develop into
every type of adult body cell. As a pregnancy progresses, each cell undergoes differentiation into a specific
type of tissue, and finally, specializes for performing a specific function. Researchers today are trying to
develop a technology whereby adult cells will revert to their pluripotent state, making it possible to determine
what type of tissue they will become. In the future, this technology may make it possible to cure disease by
replacing diseased tissue with these cells. Which of the following statements cannot be inferred from the
above text?
a. The technology that researchers wish to develop will make it possible to transform specialized
cells into pluripotent cells.
b. Adult body cells are not pluripotent cells.
c. Pluripotent cells are unique in that they have the potential to revert to their original state.
 d. The therapeutic potential of pluripotent cells lies in the fact that they can specialize to
perform any function.
