Explanation:

In everyday life, single replacement means one thing takes the place of another. For example, if you have a broken part in a machine and replace it with a new one, that's a single replacement. Looking at the options:

• "Something gets made out of smaller parts" is more about synthesis or assembly, not replacement.
• "Two things get replaced by one other thing" is a double - replacement or a different kind of substitution concept.
• "One thing replaces two other things" is not the common understanding of single replacement.
• "One thing replaces another thing" aligns with the basic meaning of single replacement in daily language.

Answer:

One thing replaces another thing.
