问题     There are many ways in which the phenomena of language and culture
are intimately related. All phenomena are unique to humans and have there-【M1】______
fore been the subject of a great deal of anthropological, sociological, and
even memetic study. Language, of course, is determined by culture.
    For many people, language is not just the medium of culture but also the【M2】______
part of culture. It is quite common for immigrants from a new country to re-【M3】______
tain their old customs and to speak their first language amid fellow immigrants,
even if all of present are comfortable in their new language. This oc-【M4】______
curs because the immigrants are eager to preserve their own heritage, which
includes not only customs and traditions but also language. This is also seen in
many Jewish communities.
    Linguistic differences are also often seen as mark of another culture, and【M5】______
they very commonly create divisiveness among neighboring peoples but even【M6】______
among different groups of the same nation. A good example of this is in Canada,
where French-speaking natives of Quebec clash with the English-speaking
majority. This sort of conflict is also uncommon in the areas with a great【M7】______
number of tribal warfare. It is even becoming an issue in America as speakers【M8】______
of standard American English—mainly whites and educating minorities—ob-【M9】______
serve the growing number of speakers of black English vernacular. Debates
are common over whether it is proper to use "Ebonics" in schools, while their【M10】______
speakers continue to assert that the dialect is a fundamental part of the "black
culture".

答案as∧一the
解析 冠词缺失。mark of another culture意思是“文化的标志”，在这里为特指，故在名词mark前加上定冠词the。
