Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between the human and the
machine. All, body parts will be replaceable. Computers will function like the human brain with the ability
to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way. They will then produce fake people. We will then be able
to create a machine duplicate of ourselves so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. Maybe a few
decades later, a way will be found to transfer our spirit, including our memories and thoughts, to the new
body. Then we can choose to live for as long as we want. It might be expensive. When it becomes possible
to do a spirit transfer, they will figure out how to do them automatically. So we will be able to reside within
whichever duplicate we want, whenever we want.
