Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C2】______many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.

选项
答案
I
解析
空格位于形容词rising之后,应填入名词。根据句意可知,这种混乱是新兴繁荣的必要组成部分,故答案为I)prosperity“繁荣,昌盛”。备选项中benifits,impact,rhythm,sentiments均与上下文语义不符,故排除。
