INSTRUCTION: Choose the CORRECT alternative to answer questions 17 to 20, according to TEXT 1.
TEXT 1
The word "computer" was first recorded as being used in 1613 and was originally used to describe a human
who performed calculations or computations. The definition of a computer remained the same until the end
of the 19th century when people began to realize machines never get tired and can perform calculations much
faster and more accurately than any team of human computers ever could.
In 1822, Charles Babbage began developing the Difference Engine, which was considered to be the first
automatic computing engine. It was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making hard copies of the
results. Unfortunately, because of funding he was never able to complete a full-scale functional version of this
machine. In June of 1991, the London Science Museum completed the Difference Engine Nº 2 for the bicentennial
year of Babbage's birth and later completed the printing mechanism in 2000.

TEXT 2
Food engineering is the application of engineering principles to the storage, processing and distribution of
food materials and _____ bio-products. It requires a sound engineering education, as well as fundamental training
in chemistry and food science.
Food Engineers can make valuable contributions in various capacities of food chain such as design of processing,
handling, packaging and storage equipment and systems; scale-up of prototype food processes, machinery,
and equipment; product/process research and development; regulation and protection of the public health; and
engineering and technical Sales.
