Select the correct sentence from the given options to fill in the blank in the paragraph.

Humanity is a social species by nature. When the internet entered daily life around 1983, worldwide connections became an instant possibility. _____________________. The backyard fence was replaced by a computer monitor. Whether for private purposes or business, communication is what humans do - not always gracefully or truthfully, but certainly continuously.

Social media had its first seeds in email.

The internet came, connecting people on the World Wide Web, and nothing changed.

Social media has become a vast, informal network of online venues.

Talking to the next-door neighbour became talking to anyone on the planet.

✅ Correct Option: 4

The paragraph discusses how the internet enabled global connections and transformed communication. The blank needs to bridge the idea of "worldwide connections" to the subsequent metaphor of the "backyard fence" being replaced by a computer monitor.

Option 1 is a specific historical detail about social media, not the general communication shift.

Option 2 contradicts the entire premise that the internet brought significant change.

Option 3 focuses on social media, while the preceding sentence discusses the internet's broader impact on worldwide connections and the subsequent sentence talks about general communication.

Option 4 accurately encapsulates the fundamental shift in scale and reach of human interaction enabled by the internet, perfectly setting up the metaphor of the backyard fence being replaced by a global connection, thus providing the best logical flow.
