问题     Many typically "American" characteristics are a result of value. 【M1】______
There is a remarkable ethic diversity in the US. Among its population 【M2】______
of 300 million, 73% is White, 12% African American, 8% Hispanic.
Many Americans don’t like generalizations being made about them
because they see themselves as very unique. Individualism is probably
the most highly esteemed value in the American culture, and Americans
may feel comfortable when given more help than they need, because 【M3】______
they see dependency as weakness. The focus on the individual has led
to a more informal society. For example, phrases like "drop by any
time" are other ways of saying goodbye. Honesty and frankness is more【M4】______
important to Americans than "saving face", and they may bring up
impolite conversation topics which you may find embarrassed, 【M5】______
controversial or even offensive. This encourages them to dissolve
misunderstandings themselves. Some behaviours have culturally
associated to straightforwardness. For example, a firm handshake is 【M6】______
often interpreted as sign of sincerity, so is direct eye contact. To most【M7】______
Americans, honesty is always preferred for politeness. Punctuality is 【M8】______
considered an important attribution, and you will need to offer an 【M9】______
apology and explanation if you are more than 15 minutes late.
Americans also value achievement and competition, but sports awards【M10】______
are often displayed in their homes.
【M4】
选项
答案is—are
解析 主谓一致错误。虽然honesty和frankness是抽象不可数名词，但两个抽象名词作主语时谓语要用复数形式。
