the second blank should be similar to beneficial but to somewhat less degree.. so tolerable is the best fit. Salutary is too similar to beneficial (notice even). The third one has to be a negative word, so alienating is the right choice. The first blank has to be in contrast with beneficial, so insidious is the best fit. There's no sign in the question that technology signs are ominous.

From this sentence, i thought the first blank would be ominous. Why is it insidious ?
