问题 Slovenly speech comes off the same spool. Vocabulary,
like blue jeans, is being drained of color and distinction. A
complete sentence in everyday speech is as rarely as a man’s【M1】______
tie in the swank Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. People
communicate in the chopped-up phrases, relying on grunts and chants
of "you know" or "I mean" to cover up a damnable coherence.【M2】______
Neatness should be no more important in language than it is in【M3】______
dress. But spew and sprawl are taking over. English language【M4】______
is one of the greatest sources of wealth in the world. In the midst of
accessible riches, we are linguistic paupers.
Violence in language has become almost as casual as the
possession of handguns. The curious notion has been taken【M5】______
hold that emphasis in communication is impossible without
the incessant usage of four letter words. Some screenwriters【M6】______
openly admit that they are careful to turn in scripts that are【M7】______
devoid of foul language that the classification office impose【M8】______
the curse of G(general)rating. Motion-picture exhibitors have a
strong preference for the R(restricted)rating, probably
on the theory of forbidding fruit. Hence writers and producers【M9】______
have every incent to employ tasteless language and gory scenes.【M10】______ [br] 【M8】

选项

答案 that→lest

解析由下文电影投资商更倾向于R(限制)级的电影，故可推断编剧在剧本中加入粗言秽语是以免被评为G(大众)级，故根据句意将that改为lest。
