1. In the above essay, gravitation is compared to A. Thermodynamics B. Snowflakes C. transfer of heat D. constitutional article Solution: In the last fourth sentence, it is mentioned that gravitation can be obtained form thermodynamics, just like snowflakes can be formed through the law of transfer of heat energy between the molecules. Hence choice B. 2. Verlinde believes that gravitation to us is A. Side effect B. Thermodynamics C. snowflakes D. exchange energy Solution: In the last line, it is written that as per Verlinde, gravitation is less like a constitutional article and more of a side effect to us. Hence choice A. 3. Why did Verlinde portray gravity as an emergent? A. because gravity is not the first principle B. It has no line of code in the universe …show more content…
gravity can be obtained through small interactions Solution: In the second line of the passage, it is mentioned that emergent phenomena are interactions on a small scale that gives rise to new laws, structures, and principles on a larger scale. This is just how snowflakes can be formed through the transfer of heat energy through molecules that is driven by thermodynamics. Hence choice C. 4. What does the author is trying to convey in the essay? Gravitation is just another principle and can be obtained from thermodynamics Snowflakes can be formed through the principle of thermodynamics Crystals forming snowflakes go through the process of heat transfer between the molecules Gravitation is a side effect and much less than a constitutional article Solution: In the first sentence, it is clearly mentioned that Verlinde considers gravitation just another principle and not the first principle. The whole passage gives a brief idea that gravitation can be obtained from the law of thermodynamics, which doesn’t make it any unique. So, in brief option A conveys the theme of the passage. Hence choice A. 5. What is the essential factor in the law of thermodynamics? Interactions on small scale make way for new
