Statement (A) : Machine translation is not a fully dependable service.
Statement (B) : Manual translation is fully dependable as it is provided by Language and subject experts.

  • A.Both (A) and (B) are true
  • B.Both (A) and (B) are false
  • C.(A) is false but (B) is true
  • D.(A) is true but (B) is false

Answer: A

The key accepts both statements, so the answer is Both (A) and (B) are true.

Statement (A) is correct: machine translation cannot yet be fully relied on, since it mishandles idiom, ambiguity, context and technical terms, and its output needs checking by someone who knows both languages.

Statement (B) gives the paper's contrast: a translation made by experts who know both the language and the subject is the dependable form of translation service that libraries and documentation centres arrange for users. With both accepted, the options that make one of the statements false are wrong.
