- In the story, Hercules is temporarily holding the sky for Atlas.
- The blank (4) refers to the actions of the sky's weight on Hercules.
- Option 1: "make" suggests a simple present form, which doesn’t fit the past continuous narrative.

- Option 4: "has made" suggests completion, which doesn't match the ongoing struggle depicted.
- The correct option for blank (4) is: Option 3: "was making".
