We can answer to this question by singling out incorrect options. It is obvious that the excerpt is about the development of bicycle or first bicycles. Therefore, there is no competition, yet.

In Ray Bradbury's <em>There Will Come Soft Rain</em>, the narrative takes you through an empty automated house going through its daily routine. At the beginning of the story, the reader doesn't know why the house is empty, but knows is not supposed to as the central computer of the house keeps serving breakfast, picking it up after its time has passed, cleaning, reminding them to go to school/work, etc. Later, through the description of the house's appearance and some scorched silhouettes outside, the reader is informed of an explosion that erased the family who used to live in the automated house. The reader is left to consider the role that their dependence on the house had in their ignorance regarding their impending death.
Therefore, through mentioning Bradbury's short story, one could create a paragraph that contributes with arguments against the over-dependence of the human being on technology.
