Explanation:

- Blank (5) Explanation: The phrase requires a preposition that conveys the idea of missing a skill necessary for meaningful communication, despite having another skill.

- Option 1: devoid - Usually refers to something completely lacking. Not quite fitting since it needs to pair with a verb like "of."

- Option 2: minus - Typically used to denote subtraction in mathematics, not suitable for this context.

- Option 3: lacking - Implies deficiency, but needs to connect directly with the noun it modifies (e.g., "lacking skills").

- Option 4: without - Most appropriate here as it indicates the absence of something while performing another action.
