问题     Rupert Brooke
    Rupert Brooke, one of the leading poets of his generation, was
    renowned as a romantic, unlike many of his contemporaries who                      【M1】________
    specialized in writing about the pointless of war.                                 【M2】________
    He was born in 1887, the son of a House Master at Rugby, where Rupert attended both the preparatory and main schools.
    When he went up to Cambridge in 1906 as a classics scholar, he fared badly         【M3】________
    in his examinations as his interests laid in literature and theater.               【M4】________
    During his time at Cambridge, his wit and good looks ensured his                   【M5】________
    place as a member of the elite circle of intellectuals studying there.
    After university he went to study German in Munich, falling in
    love with a sculptress there and working feverishly to begin his first             【M6】________
    volume of poetry, which produced a profit within a few weeks of its publication in 1911.
    With his early success, Brooke often felt unsettled as he                          【M7】________
    struggled to come to term with the underlying contradictions in his                【M8】________
    character. Many times his free spirits and bohemianism conflicted                  【M9】________
    directly with the innate Puritanism he had inherited from his mother.              【M10】________
    Because of these he would sometimes distance himself from his fellows and adopt an irrational suspicious attitude towards them.
【M2】
选项
答案pointless→pointlessness greater pointless为形容词，意为“无意义的；不得要领的”，此处要表达战争毫无意义，应使用“the+名词+of”的结构。故将pointless改为pointlessness。
解析
