Directions: Read the following three passages and answer the questions by choosing the best choice (1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark the correct choice on your answer sheet. PASSAGE 1: Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data in various forms. both structured and unstructured, similar to data mining. Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis, machine learning and their related methods" in order to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data. It employs techniques and theories drawn from many fields within the context of mathematics, statistics. information science, and computer science. Turing award winner Jim Gray imagined data science as a "fourth paradigm" of science (empirical, theoretical, computational and now data-driven) and asserted that: "everything about science is changing because of the impact of information technology". While many university programs now offer a data science degree, there exists no consensus on a definition or suitable curriculum contents. To its discredit, many data- science and big-data projects fail to deliver useful results, often as a result of poor management and utilization of resources.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

1)

Data Mining and data science are one and the same.

University programs offer no suitable curricula for their data science degrees.

Determining which programming language is the one most widely used is difficult, since the definition of usage varies by context. One language may occupy the greater number of programmer hours, a different one has more lines of code, and a third may consume the most CPU time. Some languages are very popular for particular kinds of applications. Other languages are regularly used to write many different kinds of applications. Various methods of measuring language popularity, each subject to a different bias over what is measured, have been proposed: counting the number of job advertisements that mention the language; the number of books sold that teach or describe the language; estimates of the number of existing lines of code written in the language - which may underestimate languages not often found in public searches: • counts of language references (i.e., to the name of the language) found using a web search engine. Through combining and averaging information from various internet sites, stackify.com has come up with the following list of the most popular programming languages for 2018 (in descending order by overall popularity): Java, C, C++, Python, C#, JavaScript, VB NET, R. PHP, and MATLAВ.

In object-oriented programming, if the methods of a class tend to be similar in many aspects, then the class is said to have high cohesion. In a highly cohesive system, code readability and reusability is increased, while complexity is kept manageable. Cohesion is increased if: 1- The functionalities embedded in a class, accessed through its methods, have much in common. 2- Methods carry out a small number of related activities, by avoiding coarse-grained or unrelated sets of data. Advantages of high cohesion (or "strong cohesion") are: 1- Reduced module complexity (they are simpler, having fewer operations). 2- Increased system maintainability, because logical changes in the domain affect fewer modules. 3- Increased module reusability, because application developers will find the component they need more easily among the cohesive set of operations provided by the module.
26.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

1)

Highly cohesive classes tend to be less complex.

2)

Modular design requires cohesive data.

3)

Reusability is adversely affected by high cohesion.

4)

Two classes that have much in common are mutually cohesive.

27.

Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as a benefit of high cohesion?

1)

Increased data integrity

2)

Increased system maintainability

3)

Increased module simplicity

4)
