- World Series. TheWorld Series in baseball is won by the first team to win four games (ignoring the 1903 and 1919–1921 World Series, when it was a best of nine).

- Select the correct sentence in the passage. Which sentence best supports the idea that artificial and human translators are comparable? A Computer Can Now Translate Languages as Well as a Human by Vanessa Bates Ramirez (excerpt) In other words, it’s finally happened: computers are smarter than people. In a contest that tested the new software against human translators, it came close to matching the fluency of humans for some languages. People fluent in two languages scored the new system between 64 and 87 percent better than the previous one. Google is already using the new system for Chinese to English translation and plans to completely replace its existing translation technique with the GMNT.arrow_forwardThe number of students taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) has risen to an all-time high of more than 1.5 million (College Board, August 26, 2008).
