问题     There are several possible relationships between language and
society. One is that social structure may either influence or determine
linguistic structure and behavior.
    Certain evidence may support this view: age-grading phenomenon【S1】________
whereby young children speak differently from older children and, in a【S2】________
turn, children speak differently from mature adults; studies which show
that the varieties of language that speakers use reflect such matters like【S3】________
their regional, social, or ethnic origin and possibly even their sex (or
gender) ; and other studies which show that particular ways of speaking,
choices of words, and even rules for conversing are in fact highly
determined by certain social requirements.
    A second  possible  relationship  is  directly  opposed  the first:【S4】________
linguistic structure and behavior may either influence or determine social
structure.
    A third possible relationship is that the influence is bi-directional:
language and society may influence each other.
    A fourth possibility is to assume that there is no relationship at all
between  linguistic  structure  and  social  structure  and  that  every is【S5】________
independent of the other. A variant of this possibility would be to say
that, because there might be some such relationship, present attempts to【S6】________
characterize it is essentially premature, given what we know about both【S7】________
language and society. Actually, this variant view appears to be the one
which Chomsky  himself  holds:  he  prefers  to  develop  an  asocial【S8】________
linguistics as a preliminary to many other kind of linguistics, such an【S9】________
asocial approach being, in his view, logically superior.【S10】________ [br] 【S7】
选项
答案 is—are
解析 主谓不一致。该句的主语为present attempts，为复数形式，故谓语动词应为be动词的复数形式are。
