    Explanation:

    - The passage discusses two routes to achievement: conformity and originality.

    - Conformity involves following conventional paths and maintaining the status quo.

    - The missing word for blank 3 should signify preserving or keeping the current state or situation.

    - Option 1: "Building" suggests creating or constructing, which isn't about keeping things the same.

    - Option 2: "Supplying" refers to providing or furnishing, not relevant to maintaining the status quo.

    - Option 3: "Serving" implies assisting or being of service, which doesn't align with the idea of upholding.

    - Option 4: "Maintaining" implies keeping or continuing the existing situation, perfectly fitting the context of conformity.

    Therefore, the correct choice is Option 4: maintaining.
