问题     Working-class families in the United States are usually nuclear, and
    many studies indicate that working-class couples marry for love, not
    for money. Upper-class couples may marry for love, but their commitment
    of love is sometimes compromised by the recognition of their marriage【M1】______
    as a way to preserve their class identity. Middle-class couples may also
    marry for love, but the overridden task of middle-class families is also【M2】______
    an economic thing-to enhance the earning power of the breadwinner.【M3】______
    Of course, working-class people are also affected by the economic
    realities for their families must operate like economic units as well.【M4】______
    However, the economic tasks of families are more a part of their dreams【M5】______
    about marriage than they are a part of the reality of their married life.
    Indeed, to many a working-class couples, love provides a way to escape【M6】______
    from the difficulties of their parents’ home and starts their own family life.【M7】______
    Another distinctive feature of working-class families is the majority【M8】______
    of them have limited choices about the work available to them. Their
    "choices" are often the "leftovers" in the job market. People from working-class
    families do seek self-esteem and personal confirmation, and they come【M9】______
    to their jobs full of hopes. However, given the way which production【M10】______
    and consumption are organized in advancing societies like the U. S. ,
    members of the working-class often experience exploitation in struggling
    at jobs that may be less meaningful.
【M9】
选项
答案confirmation→affirmation
解析 易混词误用。confirmation意为“证实，证明，批准”，而affirmation意为“肯定，断言”。结合并列的成分self-esteem“自尊”，personal affirmation“自我肯定”意义符合全句的意思。
