问题 The US is considered a multilingual country but it has never
employed an official language policy. Even though English is clearly the
dominant language, a variety of indigenous and immigrant languages are
also spoken. The framers of the Constitution purposefully decided not to
select an official language because of present linguistic diversity;【S1】_________________
however, due to the German community’s active involvement in the
Revolution, the Continental Congress published many documents in
German to facilitate communication. Ultimately, the official language【S2】_________________
was never specified in the US Constitution.
Proponents of bilingual education felt that poor academic
achievement in certain students was attributed in part to insufficient【S3】_________________
English instruction. They believed that because language-minority【S4】_________________
students were taught some subjects in their native tongue, then these
students could potentially learn English by sacrificing the content. Critics【S5】_________________
of bilingual education argue that this approach of instruction facilitates
native language dependency for ELLs and ultimately deters their progress
in English language acquisition. Bilingual advocates counter this
argument in stating that bilingual instruction looks at deeper issues of
cultural difference and prevents the sort of alienation often empowering【S6】_________________
in "English only" mandates.
The issue of bilingual education is both complicated and
controversial. The range of programs, as well as the different meanings
in different states, complicate the debate. The debate continues and【S7】_________________
all sides offer research and studies that are diametrically opposed to one【S8】_________________
another. In 1998, California voters overwhelmingly approved
Proposition 227, an initiative that basically in attempts to eliminate【S9】_________________
bilingual education from its public schools. The state of Arizona has
mustered a different sentiment and Mayor Giuliani of New York City has【S10】________________
established a task force to investigate bilingual programs and the
possibility of English immersion programs. [br] 【S9】

选项

答案去掉in

解析介词冗余。initiative后面由that引导的定语从句缺少谓语，attempt to do sth．为常用短语，意思是“试图做某事”，故将前面的介词in去掉。
