问题     The Seattle Times Company is one newspaper firm that has
recognized the need for change and done something about it. In the
newspaper industry, papers must reflect the diversity of the
communities to which they provide information. It must reflect that【M1】______
diversity with their news coverage or risk losing their readers’
interest and their advertisers’ support.
    Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial minorities,【M2】______
the paper has put into place policies and procedures for hiring and
maintain a diverse workforce. The underlying reason for the change【M3】______
is that for information to be fair, appropriate, and subjective, it【M4】______
should be reported by the same kind of population that reads it.
    A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors, and
photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times’ content and【M5】______
to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about diversity issues. In an【M6】______
addition, the paper instituted a content audit that evaluates the
frequency and manner of representation of woman and people of【M7】______
color in photographs. Early audits showed that minorities were pictured
far too infrequently and were pictured with a disproportionate
number of negative articles. The audit results from improvement【M8】______
in the frequency of majority representation and their portrayal in【M9】______
neutral or positive situations. And, with a result, The Seattle Times【M10】______
has improved as a newspaper.
    The diversity training and content audits helped The Seattle
Times Company to win the Personnel Journal Optimas Award for
excellence in managing change.

选项
答案woman→women
解析 单复数错误。不定冠词a(n)或定冠词the加上单数个体名词可以指一类事物，若不用冠词，则名词需为复数。此处woman和people并列作为of的宾语，由于people是集体名词，单数形式表复数意义。从平衡原则出发，不用加冠词的方法改正该错误，而只须将其变为复数。
