问题     As the 20th century began, the importance of formal education
in the US increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and in 1910【M1】______
most Americans had moved to live in towns and cities. Industrialization
and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new
emphasis at credentials and expertise make schooling increasingly【M2】______
important for economic and social mobility. Increasing schools were【M3】______
viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into
American society.
    The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European
immigrants at the turn of the century coincided to and contributed to【M4】______
an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to
age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school
year was greatly lengthened.
    Reformers early in the 20th century suggested that education
programs suited the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women【M5】______
were one such population. Since looking after the house and family【M6】______
was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave
homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking
had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it
has commonly included income-producing activities both inside and【M7】______
outside the home. In highly industrialized early-twentieth-century【M8】______
US, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a
problem. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers—
cooking, shopping, decorating and caring children "efficiendy" in【M9】______
their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employers【M10】______
in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions
seem quite out-of-date. [br] 【M10】
选项
答案 employers→employees
解析 词汇错误。根据上下文，此句应该是“迫于经济压力，这些妇女也可以到别人家里打工赚钱”，因此她们是“雇工”(employees)而非“雇主”(employers)。
