07. Computers were invented for performing only high-end useful computations. However, it is no
understatement that they have taken over our world today. The internet, for example, is ubiquitous.
Many believe that the internet itself is an unintended consequence of the original invention. With

07. Ans: (B)
Sol: The first and second sentences tell us that computers are invented for computation and internet for 
intended invention. These sentences lead to option ii so option (B) is the right inference.
