问题     A pidgin is a language with no native speakers: it is no one’s first language
but is a contact language. It is the product of a multilingual situation in which
those wish to communicate must find or improvise a simple language system that【M1】______
will enable them to do so. Very often too that situation is one which there is an【M2】______
imbalance of power among the languages as the speakers of one language
dominate the speakers of the other languages economically and socially. A highly
codified language often escorts that dominant position. A pidgin is therefore【M3】______
sometimes regarded as a "reduced" variety of a "normal" language, i. e , one of
the aforementioned dominant language, with simplification of the grammar and【M4】______
vocabulary of that language,  considerably phonological variation,  and an【M5】______
admixture of local vocabulary to fill the special needs of the contact group. The【M6】______
process of indigenization probably requires a situation that involves at least three
languages, one of which is clearly dominant over the others. When three or
more languages are involved and one is dominant, the speakers of the two or
more that are inferior appear to play critical role in the development of a【M7】______
pidgin. They must not only speak to those who are in the dominant
position, they must also speak to each other. To do this, they have to【M8】______
simplify the dominant language in certain ways. Therefore, a pidgin arises
of the simplification of a language when that language comes to dominate【M9】______
groups of speakers separated from each other by the language differences.【M10】______ [br] 【M2】
选项
答案 ∧which→in
解析 介词错误。该句中which-h引导的定语从句修饰主语situation，从句中并未缺少句子成分，由此可知先行词在从句中作状语，表示in the situation之意，因此原文中引导词前面丢掉了介词in。
