Explanation:

- The passage discusses the relationship between humans and machines. Machines were intended to serve humans. However, the text suggests that humans have become increasingly dependent on them.

- The word in blank (1) is "dependent," which shows reliance on machines, indicating a shift in power dynamics.

- For blank (2), the correct option is "masters." This implies that machines, originally servants, have gained control over humans, reversing their roles. Correct Answer: masters

- Options for blank (2):

- Option 1: masters – This is the correct choice, indicating control or dominance by machines.

- Option 2: victims – This isn’t fitting since it doesn’t align with the notion of machines wielding control.

- Option 3: slaves – Contradicts the context as it suggests complete control over machines by humans.

- Option 4: administrators – Doesn’t aptly capture the idea of dominance by machines.
