Select the most appropriate option for blank no. 3
from
into
under
upon
- The passage discusses the relationship between humans and machines, highlighting how the dependence on machines has shifted the power dynamic from machines being servants to becoming more like masters.
- Blank (3) needs a preposition that correctly fits the phrase "waiting (3)_______ machines".
- Option 1: "from" – This does not fit as it suggests direction or distance, and doesn’t make sense in this context.
- Option 2: "into" – This suggests movement inside something, which is not suitable for this context.
- Option 3: "under" – This suggests control or dominance, which does not align with the ongoing service scenario.
- Option 4: "upon" – This is the correct choice as it means to look after or attend to, which matches the phrase "waiting upon machines".
Given the fit of the preposition with the context, Option 4: "upon" is the most suitable choice.
