Explanation:

- The passage suggests that modern smartphones are more advanced than old computers, particularly those used by NASA.

- Blank (2) needs a word that highlights the size difference between old computers and modern smartphones.

- The word "smaller" is a fitting choice, as it contrasts the size of old, bulky computers with today’s compact smartphones, while emphasizing greater power.

- Option 1, "harder," does not make sense in this context as it doesn’t describe a size comparison.

- Option 2, "sharper," refers to clarity or acuity but doesn’t relate to size or capacity.

- Option 4, "bigger," contradicts the fact that smartphones are more compact but powerful when compared to older computers.

Correct Answer: Option 3 - smaller
