Answer: Inactive.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'inert' is 'not moving'. In the excerpt, it is described that the machines were not moving, as if they were dead. The word 'inactive' has the same meaning - it stands for something that is not operating, moving or is out of function. This is why we could replace 'inert' with 'inactive' in this example.

Please Help Me Right Now​
vodomira [7]
1. It’s impossible to go out right now without seeing people in masks.

2. Although masks can be rather unpleasant, they really help everyone around me when in stores, schools, and almost everywhere else.

3. Having an interview online could be one of the most strange things to considering it’s the first time you’ve seen most people’s whole face.

4. Sometimes when people pull their masks down they disappoint me because they’re either not protected or they don’t look how i thought they would (LOL SORRY)

5. A lot of people disagree with some decisions on how many people should be allowed in certain establishments.

6. This will certainly be an unforgettable time of masks, quarantines, and utter chaos for us all.

really hope this is what you wanted !!
