It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C5】______ up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【C6】______ through  the  telegraph,  the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C7】______ the 20th-century world of the motor car and the airplane.

选项 A、above
B、upon
C、against
D、with
答案 C
