Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank

In this day and age, you are _________ a disadvantage if you are not tech-savvy

Option D is the correct choice. Saying “you are at a disadvantage” means that not being tech-savvy puts you in an unfavourable position. It’s a common expression to convey this idea.

Let's look at other options.

Option A: This choice doesn’t fit well in the context. Saying “you are in a disadvantage” doesn’t convey the intended meaning. We typically use “at a disadvantage” to express being in an unfavourable position.

Option B: While “with” can be used in other contexts, it doesn’t work here. Saying “you are with a disadvantage” sounds awkward and doesn’t convey the intended meaning.

Option C: Again, this choice doesn’t fit the context. Saying “you are of a disadvantage” doesn’t make sense. We don’t use “of” in this expression.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.

Sentence: Being tech-savvy is essential in today’s world, and not being so can indeed put you at a disadvantage.
