Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药) of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were【C1】________ aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C2】________ many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life.

Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its【C8】________. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics.

选项
答案
F
解析
形容词辨析题。空格位于动词rendered之后,render后面一般跟形容词,表达“使成为,使变得”的含义。根据句意可知,离开了土地并没有使农业工人失业,因此答案为F)jobless“失业的”。
