问题     The desire to use language as a sign of national identity is a
very natural one, and in result language has played a prominent 【M1】______
part in national moves. Men have often felt the need to cultivate a 【M2】______
given language to show that they are distinctive from another race 【M3】______
whose hegemony they resent. At the time the United States split 【M4】______
off from Britain, for example, there were proposals that
independence should be linguistically accepted by the use of a 【M5】______
different language from those of Britain. There was even one 【M6】______
proposal that Americans should adopt Hebrew. Others favoured
the adoption of Greek, though, as one man put it, things would
certainly be simpler for Americans if they stuck on to English and 【M7】______
made the British learn Greek. At the end, as everyone knows, the 【M8】______
two countries adopted the practical and satisfactory solution of
carrying with the same language as before. 【M9】______
    Since nearly two hundred years now, they have shown the 【M10】______
world that political independence and national identity can be
complete without sacrificing the enormous mutual advantages of a
common language. [br] 【M1】
选项
答案 one—thing
解析 代词错误。该句中的one没有对应的所指(如果是指代desire的话，a desire不符合习惯)，所以这里不能用代词，要用名词thing，意思是“希望使用语言作为民族身份的标记是件很自然的事”。
