consumer-electronics makers who manufactured them, selling TVs
was a good business.

to occur. The price competition was merciful and unrelenting since【M3】______
the televisions were hard to differentiate. Even so consumers were【M4】______

profit. Now, another shift is taking place, and it is threatening to
rob televisions their prominence—and value—in the home. With【M5】______
more people streaming or downloading video as an alternation to【M6】______
cable or satellite broadcast, more consumers are watching TV
shows and movies on smartphones, tablets and laptops. The

American TV research for DisplaySearch, a market-research firm
based in Santa Clara, Calif. When televisions end up becoming【M8】______

Web TVs count for about a quarter of all new flat-panel televisions【M10】______
this year, rising to about half of all shipments in three years,
according to DisplaySearch. [br] 【M5】

选项

答案 ∧their一of

解析词汇错误。rob sb．of sth．是固定搭配．表示“剥夺某人某物”，这里是指“这个转变可能会夺取电视机在家庭中的重要地位和价值”，因此要加上介词of。
