linguistically accepted by the use of a different language from            【B5】 ______
those of Britain. There was even one proposal that Americans               【B6】 ______
should adopt Hebrew. Others favoured the adoption of
Greek, though, as one man put it, things would certainly be

选项
答案 one→thing
解析 英文中首次提到某个事情时应该用名词，后面再提到时可以用代词one或those等代替。本句在文中第一次提到，希望使用语言作为民族的标志是件很自然的事情，故应该使用名词thing，而不是one。
