We turn to our devices foreverything—from waiting in line at the grocery store or reading the news, to filing our taxes or controlling the thermostat.We don't just use our smartphones for everything—we rely on them.

官方答案

• 答案：C. Instead of

解析

空格後面是動名詞 seeking，而且前後語意是「與其到處尋求解答，不如多花時間陪伴動物與自己」的取捨對比，因此應填 Instead of（而不是），符合 Instead of + V-ing 的用法。But for 意為「若非、要不是」，多用於假設語氣，後面接名詞；Due to 表示因果，後面也接名詞；Absent from 意為「缺少、不在場」，這三者都無法表達此處的對比轉折，也難以和 seeking 搭配。因此正確答案是 C。
