问题     Wholly aside from aesthetic and moral considerations, fashion
is an economic absurdity, and there is little to be said in its favor.
Nevertheless, we can appreciate the wisdom in Gina Lombroso’s
belief the enormous stress which women lay on everything pertaining【S1】______
with clothes and the art of personal adornment is connected with the【S2】______
tendency to crystallize sentiment into an object. Woman symbolizes
every important event in her life by a special dress; and a jewel or a
beautiful gown means to a woman that an official decoration means to【S3】______
a man.
    The temptation of dress is the last step in the ceremony to the novice【S4】______
has to submit before entering the cloister. The memory of the gown which
she might have worn was the strongest temptation that assailed St.
Catherine before she took her solemn vows—a gown, embroidering【S5】______
with gold and stars, like that her sisters had worn, which her【S6】______
grandchildren would have gazed with eyes filled with wonder and【S7】______
admiration...
    If a woman’s clothes cost the family and society a little time,
money and activity, they allow woman, independent in lies and【S8】______
calumnies, to triumph and come to the fore outside of man’s world
and competition. They allow woman to satisfy with her desire to be【S9】______
the first in the most varied fields by giving her the illusion that she is
the first, and at the same time enable her rival to have the same【S10】______
illusion. Clothes absorb some of woman’s activity which might
otherwise be diverted to more or less worth-while ends; they give
woman real satisfaction.
【S10】

答案enable—enabling
解析 动词形式错误。此处enable与giving并列，同为介词by的宾语，应该把enable改成enabling。
