Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has【C2】________ many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life.

Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its【C8】________.

解析
动词辨析题。该空格位于助动词has之后,据此判断应填入动词的过去分词,构成现在完成时。根据句意可知,秘书职位的数量减少了,但出现了其他更多诸如程序员和网站设计师的职位,因此答案为M)shrunk“萎缩,减少”。
