Here according to my understanding, I thought “which is -------, " is talking more about the entire first idea”
the opposition of good and evil is portrayed as a ------- between technology", but it is talking more only about technology(after I checked the answer key). How do I understand this?

2

“In science fiction films, the opposite of good and evil is portrayed as a I)--------- between technology”

This bit itself isn’t really an idea, so “which” cannot be referring to that, right?

3

Why isn’t it an idea?

4

Because “between technology” by itself doesn’t make sense right?

@ganesh @kamal just want to check if my way is correct - I’m a bit confused with this question as well:

  1. For the first blank, I reused the word ‘opposition’ because if there is an opposition/ conflict between good and evil, it seems like there is a conflict between the two things mentioned later i.e., ‘technology’ vs ‘errant will of a depraved intellectual’
  2. using the block of 4, using good vs evil as the first set of contrast, good should correspondingly refer to ‘which is ________’ so blank 2 should be something positive given the evil corresponds to ‘errant will of a depraved intellectual’

Does this make sense?

6

Looks good

Agreed.

I would do it exactly the same way as you.

PS. Please don’t tag us to look at your question

Thanks, will keep the tagging part in mind. I just did so as this was an older thread.
