VI. Read the text and choose the word or word combination from the box to fill in the gaps. Mind one extra word/word combination you do not need to use:

Government-made laws are often patterned upon informal rules of
conduct already existing in the society, and relations between people
are regulated by a combination of these rules. This relationship can
be demonstrated using the example of a sports club.

Suppose a member of a rugby club is so angry with
the referee during a club game that he hits him and breaks his nose.
1………….., it is probable that people seeing or hearing about
the incident would criticize the player and try to persuade him to
apologize and perhaps compensate the referee in some way. 2…………..,
the player would find he had broken the rules of the club, and
perhaps of a wider institution governing the conduct of all people
playing rugby, and would face punishment, such as a fine or a
suspension before he would be allowed to play another game. 3…………..,
the player might also face prosecution for attacking the referee
under laws created by the government of his country. In many
countries there might be two kinds of prosecution. 4…………..,
the referee could conduct a civil action against the player,
demanding compensation for his injury and getting his claim enforced
by a court of law if the player failed to agree privately. 5…………..,
the police might also start an action against the player for a crime
of violence. If found guilty, the player might be sent to prison, or
he might be made to pay a fine to the court – that is, punishment
for an offence against the state, since governments often consider
anti-social behaviour not simply as a matter between two individuals
but as a danger to the well-being and order of society as a whole.
