Explanation:

- The passage discusses the nature of the English language, particularly its adaptability and how it has accumulated a wide range of words.

- Blank number 5 requires a word that conveys the overall collection or set of words.

- Option 1: "selection" implies a chosen part or subset, which doesn't fit, as the passage refers to the entire collection of English words.

- Option 2: "inventory" suggests a countable or tangible list, which doesn't quite capture the essence of language words.

- Option 3: "catalogue" refers to a systematic list or record, which isn't the best fit as it implies an organized list rather than a broad collection.

- Option 4: "vocabulary" is the best choice as it directly refers to the entire set of words known and used by a language.
