Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Technology must be used to feed the forces of change
Explanation: The phrase "must be used to feed" correctly expresses necessity and employs the passive voice to show that technology is the means by which the forces of change are fed. This matches the intended meaning: technology should be employed as the tool or method.
"must have been using to feed" is problematic because it implies a continuous past action (perfect progressive) and creates an awkward, ungrammatical structure for stating a general necessity.
"must use having fed" is ungrammatical; "use" cannot be followed by a perfect participle phrase in this way to express necessity.
"must be using to feed" suggests an ongoing action (present progressive) and is awkward here. The intended general requirement is better conveyed by the passive "must be used to feed."
