Identify the option that provides the missing phrases in the paragraphs given below: The argument and though-experiment now generally known as the 'Chinese Room Argument' was first published in a paper in 1980 by American philosopher John Searle. It has become one of the best-known arguments in recent philosophy. A. _______ following a computer program for responding to Chines characters slipped under the door. Searle understand nothing of Chinese, and yet, by following the program for manipulating symbols and numerals just as a computer does, he produces appropriate strings of Chinese characters. B. _____ the narrow conclusion of the argument is that programming a digital computer may make in appear to understand language but does not produce real understanding. Hence the " Turing Test" is inadequate. Searle argues that the though experiment underscores the fact that computers merely use syntactic rules to manipulate symbol strings, but have no understanding of meaning of semantics. C. _____ that the theory that human minds are computer - like computational or information processing systems is refuted. Instead minds must result from biological processes: computers can at best simulate these biological processes. Thus the argument has large implications for semantics, philosophy of language and mind, theories of consciousness, computer science and cognitive science generally. D. _____ there have been many critical replies to the argument.
