    There are between 3 , 000 and 6, 000 public languages in the world, and we must add【C1】______(approximate)6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. Considering these facts, the【C2】______(possible)for breakdowns in communication seem【C3】______(finite)in number.
    However, we do communicate【C4】______(success)from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very【C5】______(mystery)process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by【C6】______(imitate)and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, "Hot, hot!" And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, " Hot, hot\ " However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that children also combine words to make【C7】______(meaning)sentences in ways that are unique,【C8】______(learn)and【C9】______(create). Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a【C10】______(universe)language mechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language. But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.
【C2】
选项
答案possibilities
解析 本句空白处放在定冠词the后面，另外观察本句句法可以发现主语并不完整，因此需要根据句意把提示词形容词possible去掉尾字母一e加上后缀一ity改为名词possibility。从seem可以看出，本句谓语是复数形式，因此作为主语的possibility应改为复数形式possibilities。
