    Explanation
    The term "memories" in replicants is referred to as "implants".

This device is used to determine if an individual is a human or a replicant (bioengineered android) by measuring their emotional responses to various stimuli.

    • 'Nature, Nurture and Knowledge'

    • 'More life than life itself'

    • 'Kill or be killed'

    • 'More human than human'

    Correct Answer
    A. 'More human than human'
    Explanation
    The correct answer, "More human than human," is the Tyrell motto because it reflects the company's goal of creating replicants that are indistinguishable from humans. The motto suggests that the replicants should not only possess physical qualities similar to humans but also exhibit emotional and cognitive capabilities that make them even more human than actual humans. This motto encapsulates the Tyrell Corporation's aspiration to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence and blur the line between humans and replicants.

    Which of these words/phrases does not fit into the context of Blade Runner?

    • Hyper-Consumerism

    • Mass Media

    • Romanticism

    • Artificiality

    Correct Answer
    A. Romanticism
    Explanation
    Romanticism does not fit into the context of Blade Runner because the film is set in a dystopian future where technology dominates society and human emotions are suppressed. Romanticism, on the other hand, is an artistic and intellectual movement that emphasizes individualism, imagination, and nature. It celebrates emotions and the beauty of the natural world, which contrasts with the bleak and artificial environment depicted in Blade Runner.

  • 9. 

    What is absent from the world of Blade Runner, that gives it it's post-modern feel?

    • Perpetual Rain

    • Cityscape

    • Constant Advertising

    • Nature

    Correct Answer
    A. Nature
    Explanation
    The absence of nature in the world of Blade Runner contributes to its post-modern feel. In the movie, the environment is dominated by urban landscapes, technology, and artificial elements. The lack of natural elements such as trees, plants, and animals creates a sense of detachment from the natural world and emphasizes the overwhelming presence of human-made structures. This absence reinforces the theme of a dystopian future where nature has been replaced by a cold, industrialized society, further enhancing the post-modern atmosphere of the film.

    • Metaphor

    • Alliteration

    • Onamatopoeia

    Correct Answer
    A. Metaphor

    • Poetic

    • Colloquial

    • Pragmatic

    Explanation
    Roy's style of speaking can be described as poetic because it is likely that he uses language that is imaginative, rhythmic, and expressive. This style of speaking may involve the use of metaphors, similes, and other literary devices to create a more artistic and aesthetic effect. Poetic language often evokes emotions and paints vivid pictures in the listener's mind, making it a suitable description for Roy's speaking style.

    • The Creature

    Correct Answer
    A. Frankenstein
    Explanation
    In Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein," the character of Frankenstein himself says, "like the archangel who aspired to omnipotence, I am chained in an eternal hell." This quote reflects Frankenstein's remorse and despair over the consequences of his ambition and the creation of his monster. He compares himself to Lucifer, who was cast out of heaven for his desire to be like God, and expresses his own feelings of being trapped and tormented by his own creation.

However, "Genealogy" does not have a clear connection to both texts, making it the odd one out.
