vi is the answer
. 
 
31. Note
After scanning, we can realize that this paragraph use many words related to economic 
aspect. Specifically, it is the two of the great early-20
th
-century American pioneers of industrial 
research
. In the last sentences, the writer mentions “
corporate capitalism
”, “
autonomy
” and 
“
industry
”. From that point, we can conclude that 
x is the appropriate heading
.
 
32. Note
After scanning, we acknowledge that this paragraph refers to the serendipity in social scientific 
work. Despite being undertaken with the best evidence and formulated according to the most 
rational criteria, accordingly, all social action is uncertain in its consequences. In other words, 
the reality doesn’t always match expectation. Thus, 
the answer is viii.
 
33. Note
We can easily find out the needed information based on keywords. Since the former refers to 
deductivism and the latter refers to 
inductivism, the word “inductivism” means accept chance 
discoveries. Therefore, 
C is the answer.

34. Note
After scanning, we can easily exclude option A and C. Based on similar words, we are 
informed that Medawar insisted that there is no way at all of systematising the process of 
discovery. In other words, he supposed that discoveries tend to happen unplanned. Thus, 
the 
answer for this question is B.
 
 
 
35. Note
We can find out the needed information in paragraph referring to scientists’ misunderstandings 
of the word “serendipity”. Accordingly, the occurrence of serendipity in scientific discoveries 
makes many scientists incendiary and it was seen as dangerous denigration. In other words, 
many scientists dislike the idea of serendipity because it devalues their scientific expertise. 
Hence,
