answer explanation:
<p>The correct answer is <strong>(A) in need of</strong>.</p>
<p>The phrase "in need of" means that something requires or is lacking something. In this context, the current machines are lacking repairs, meaning they are in need of repairs.</p>
<p>The other options do not fit the context:</p>
<p>(B) "in honor of" means to show respect or admiration for someone or something, which does not make sense in this context.</p>
<p>(C) "by means of" means using a particular method or process, which does not fit the context of repairs.</p>
<p>(D) "in excess of" means more than a particular amount or number, which does not fit the context of repairs.</p>
