請依下文回答第 42 題至 46 ：
Division does not always require that classification follow it. Your purpose in classifying, however, is to show how things in a group are similar. __42 division and classification do work together. If you emptied the contents of a pocketbook onto a table, you would begin to divide those contents into groups. __43_ division, you would identify objects relating to finances, objects relating to personal care, objects relating to school work. Once you had the divisions clear, you would place objects in each category: money, checks, and credit cards in the first; cosmetics, a comb, and perfume in the second; pencils and a notebook in the third.
When you divide and classify for writing, you have to keep several things in mind. You have to think carefully about the division of the topic so that you limit the __44__ from group to group. That is best achieved by creating categories different enough from each other so there is no blending. Since, you, the writer, have to establish the groups, you need to use a principle of classification that is sensible, accurate and complete. Do not force categories just __45 _making groups. You have to show how things in a group relate to each other, and this you must do without __46__ their differences and without making them stereotypes. If you stereotype objects in a group, you will be oversimplifying them, taking away their individuality, and forcing them to fit your categories.

(D) measuring |
分組並不一定要有分類相隨。雖然，你分類的目的是要表示一組中有類似的事物。__42 分組和分類確實是相輔相成。如果你將口袋中的物品放到桌上，你可以開始將這些物品分為幾個組。__43_分組，你可以辨別出和財務有關的物品，和個人生活有關的物品和學校功課有關的物品。一但分組完成，你可以將物品放置在每一個類別中：金錢、支票和信用卡在第一類；化妝品、一支梳子和香水在第二類；鉛筆和一本記事本在第三類。
當你為寫作文章分組或分類的時候，你必須將幾件事情記在心中。你必須小心主題的分組才不會有組和組之間的__44__。這個可經由設立類別時相互間要有足夠的區隔、沒有混合、就可以達成。既然是你 - 作家自己 - 要建立分組，你必須要用合理、正確和完整的分類原則。不要勉強分類只 __45 _ 設立分類。你必須顯示個組中的事務如何地有相互關聯，基於此你必須做的沒有__46__它們的差異，並且沒有使它們千篇一律。如果你在個組中將東西都弄的一樣，你就會太簡化它們了，拿掉了他們的個體性，強迫它們去適合你的分類。
