Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. What if globally designed products could radically change how we work, produce, and consume? Several examples across continents show the way we are producing and consuming goods could be improved by relying on globally shared digital resources, such as design, knowledge, and software. Imagine a prosthetic hand designed by geographically dispersed communities of scientists, designers, and enthusiasts collaboratively via the web. All knowledge and software related to the hand is shared globally as a digital commons. People from all over the world who are connected online and have access to local manufacturing machines (from 3D printing and CNC machines to low-tech crafts and tools) can, ideally with the help of an expert, manufacture a customised hand. This is the case of the Open Bionics project, which produces designs for robotic and bionic devices. There are no patent costs to pay for. Less transportation of materials is needed, since a considerable part of the manufacturing takes place locally; maintenance is easier, products are designed to last as long as possible, and costs are thus much lower. Question: Which of the following is NOT a globally shared digital resource?
Option 1: knowledge
Option 2: design
Option 3: automobile
Option 4: software
Correct Answer: automobile
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The term "automobile" is not a globally shared digital resource, according to the information provided in the passage. The passage mentions globally shared digital resources such as design, knowledge, and software but does not include automobiles in this context. The focus is on how digital resources contribute to improving the production and consumption of goods, particularly in the case of the prosthetic hand described.
Therefore, the correct answer is an automobile.
