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 therefore been【M1】______
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 part【M2】______
of culture. It is quite common for immigrants from a new country to retain their【M3】______
old customs and to speak their first language amid fellow immigrants, even if all
of present are comfortable in their new language. This occurs because the【M4】______
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 of【M8】______
standard American English—mainly whites and educating minorities—observe【M9】______
the growing number of speakers of black English vernacular. Debates are
common over whether it is proper to use "Ebonics" in schools, while their speakers【M10】______
continue to assert that the dialect is a fundamental part of the "black culture".
【M7】
选项
答案uncommon—common
解析 形容词误用。根据上下文语境可知this sort of conflict在其他区域也是非常普遍的，uncommon的意思是“不普遍”，意思恰好相反，故改为common。
