问题     The grammatical words which play so large a part in English
grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different from
the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may
seem the most obvious is that grammatical words have "less                     【B1】______
meaning", but in fact some grammarians have called them                        【B2】______
"empty" words as opposed in the "full" words of vocabulary. But                【B3】______
this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a          【B4】______
word like the is not the name of something as man is, it is very
far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp difference in                【B5】______
meaning between "man is vile" and "the man is vile", yet
the is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning.                       【B6】______
Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among
themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in the                      【B7】______
lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been
"little words." But size is by no mean a good criterion for                    【B8】______
distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when we consider
that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. Apart from                    【B9】______
this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people
say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we                【B10】______
omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browing
but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
选项
答案 将the去掉。
解析 当most不明确用来表示最高级而是用来表示“非常”、“极其”时前面不加冠词the。在现代英语中，most即使用作最高级形式，其前面的定冠词也经常可以省略，尤其是当它所修饰的成分作表语时。试比较：
（a）．All the questions were difficult，but which do you think was(the)  most difficult?
（b）．It’s really most unfortunate．
