Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Final answer: embedded
Explanation: The sentence requires a verb that conveys technology being made an integral, firmly fixed part of government. 'Embedded' means fixed firmly or deeply and collocates naturally with 'into government.' The next sentence begins 'Embedding technology into government...', which confirms this choice.
embedded: Correct. Conveys deep, systemic integration and matches the following sentence.
inserted: Plausible in a literal sense but not the best fit. Implies placing something into a space rather than integrating it firmly into systems.
planted: Unsuitable. Usually used for seeds or ideas, not for integrating technology into institutional structures.
routed: Incorrect. Means directed along a route and does not convey the intended sense of integration.
Therefore, 'embedded' is the most appropriate choice for the blank because it best expresses the idea of technology becoming a firmly integrated part of government.
