问题     The proper force of words lies not in the words themselves,
but in their application. A word may be a fine-sounding word,
of an unusual long, and very imposing from its learning and【S1】________
novelty, and yet in the connection which it is introduced, may 【S2】________
be quite pointless and irrelevant. It is not pomp or pretension,
but the adaptation to the expression to the idea that clenches【S3】________
a writer’s meaning: as it is not the size or glossiness of the
materials, but their being fitted  each to their place, that gives【S4】________
strength to the arch; or as the pegs  and  nails  are necessary【S5】________
to the support of the building as the larger timbers, and more
so than the mere showy, unsubstantial ornaments. I hate
anything that occupies more space than it is worthy.  I hate【S6】________
to see a load of band-boxes go along the street, and I hate to
see a parcel of big words   without nothing in them. A【S7】________
person who does not deliberately dispose of all his thoughts
alike in cumbrous draperies and flimsy disguises, may strike
out twenty varieties of familiar everyday language, each
coming somewhat near to the feeling he wants to convey【S8】________
to, and at last not hit upon that particular and only one, which【S9】________
may be said to be identical with the exact impression in his
mind. This would seem to show that Mr. Cobbett is hardly
right in saying that the first word that occurred is always【S10】________
the best. It may be a very good one; and yet a better
may present itself on reflection or from time to time. It should be
suggested naturally, however, and spontaneously, from a fresh
and lively conception of the subject.

选项
答案Are∧→as
解析 connection后which引导的是定语从句，该从句中的谓语是is introduced，为被动态。表示“引入……到……中去”的固定搭配是introduce sth in sth，而先行词connection在从句中，充当介词in的宾语。根据定语从句的用法，介词应放到关系代词which前，故应在connection后补充in。
