Reading Passage

Inevitably, there are unintentional modifications as well, partly because of ___ error, and partly because inexplicit ideas are hard to ___ accurately: there is no way to download them directly from one brain to another like computer programs. And, ___ native speakers of a language will not give ___ definitions of every word. So it can be only rarely, if ___ , that two people hold precisely the same cultural idea in their minds. That is why, when the founder of a political or philosophical movement or a religion dies, or even before, schisms typically happen. The movement's most devoted followers are often shocked to ___ that they disagree about what its doctrines really are.
