X. Complete the following sentences choosing the most suitable variant.




Scientists have developed a proof-of-concept approach for extending current chip-making techniques so that …
    a manufacturers can retool their fabrication plants
    b manufacturers can produce new lasers
    c manufacturers can produce semiconductors with smaller feature sizes
Smaller feature sizes would let manufacturers pack more transistors onto chips, thereby …
    a increasing their power without making them larger
    b increasing their power making them larger
    c increasing their weight without making them larger
The new approach uses new lenses and materials to create chips with…
    a feature sizes of 29.9 nm and, eventually, even larger
    b feature sizes of 29.9 nm and, eventually, even smaller
    c feature sizes of 28.9 nm and, eventually, even smaller
Using different liquids and lens materials could increase …
    a the overall refractive index
    b the optical index
    c the fractional index
The new manufacturing technique would require chipmakers…
    a to spend millions of dollars to retool their fabrication plants
    b to continue their work without changes
    c to make some changes to their fabrication plants and buy new tools

XI. Make an outline of the text.

XII. Speak about the new approach of chip-making techniques.
