밑줄 친 부분에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?
The majority of British people dress conservatively rather than fashionably. A small number of the upper and professional upper middle class, for example, barristers, diplomats, army officers and Conservative MPs, dress in the well-tried styles of the past 50 years or so. Many of the men still have their suits specially tailored, and are thus instantly recognizable as belonging to the upper echelons of society. Yet how they dress is wholly unrepresentative of society in general. The vast majority of people buy their clothes at the high-street stores, of which Marks and Spencer, a major British multinational retailer, must be the most famous. They wear the clothes of the British middle classes, perfectly passable but hardly stylish like the dress standards in much of Europe. Indeed, the British still have a reputation of being ________ in Europe, and they do not really care.

the most diligent people

the worst dressed people

the most arrogant people

the least conservative people

빈칸에는 "the worst dressed people"(옷을 가장 못 입는 사람들)이 가장 적절하다.
영국인 대다수는 "dress conservatively rather than fashionably"하고, 중산층의 옷은 "perfectly passable but hardly stylish"(무난하지만 전혀 세련되지 않은)하다고 했으므로 유럽에서 옷차림이 가장 볼품없다는 평판이 이어진다.
"the most diligent people"(가장 근면한 사람들)은 옷차림을 다룬 글의 내용과 무관하다.
"the most arrogant people"(가장 오만한 사람들)은 근거가 되는 서술이 없다.
"the least conservative people"(가장 덜 보수적인 사람들)은 보수적으로 입는다는 글의 내용과 반대다.
