问题                  The Family Then and Now
　　Things were never easy within the family. But at a time
when the family was oriented toward the production of goods,
which alone made the survival of its members possible there
was an obvious necessity and a rational base for their living           【M1】 _________
and working together. Dire necessity did not permit putting into
question the very existence of the family, despite of the great         【M2】 _________
emotional demands living together made to each of its                   【M3】 _________
members.
　　Today the main economic activities of the family are in
the nature of consumption—how productive may be what some              【M4】 _________
of its members do in society. And from an early age on, each
member of the family could survive without its support—since
society at large is ready to provide support. Also, it is quite         【M5】 _________
easy to put the existence of the family into question. This
happens very frequent, not just as families separate or fail to be      【M6】 _________
formed, but also within families which in all outer appearance          【M7】 _________
are still intact. But once the family needs seriously to justify its
existence, it is no longer intact like a family in the old sense.       【M8】 _________
　　The modern family, deprived of its ancient and firm basis
in economic need, now tries to justify its existence through the        【M9】 _________
emotional ties within it. These always were present,
but they were a superstructure, good or bad, over the solid
foundation of necessity. With the foundation of necessity
moved, the emotions either tend to run rampant or to wither             【M10】 _________
away.
【M10】
选项
答案将moved改成removed。
解析 前者表示“移动”，后者表示“去除”，显然后者符合上下文意思。
