The task is to fill in the blanks with appropriate words from the given options in the provided sentence:

"Oil painting did to appearance what capital did to social ____________. It reduced everything to the ____________ of objects. Everything became ____________ because everything became a commodity. All reality was mechanically ____________ by its materiality."

Let's analyze the sentence and the options:

3. The third blank implies that everything can be traded or sold, suggesting the word "exchangeable."
4. The fourth blank indicates a way to evaluate something materialistically, pointing to "measured."

By matching these criteria with the provided answer options, the correct sentence is completed as follows:
