Question : Select the most appropriate synonym of the word ‘viable’ in the given sentence and choose the correct option.
The engineer’s design was optimised for efficiency and scalability, with a focus on sustainability.

Option 1: Efficiency

Option 2: Optimised

Option 3: Scalability

Option 4: Sustainability

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
