I saw that it was beyond ____85____ and sadly threw it into the garbage.
Strangely, though it is ____86____, I find that I have no wish to buy a new one. ____87____ it is because in this digital age clocks are ____88____. They are on my wall, in my car, on my computer, and even on my phone. I even needn’t ____89____ my head if I want to see what time it is.
