Which of the following is NOT used appropriately in the context?
For years, critics have argued about the ancient Greek play Oedipus Rex. Some have argued that Oedipus knows nothing of his guilt until the end of the play, when it is revealed that he murdered his own father. Others have insisted that Oedipus is aware all along of his ①guilt. According to this point of view, Oedipus, the brilliant solver of riddles, could not possibly have ②ignored the mounting evidence that he was the murderer of the king. Just how or why this debate has raged for so many years remains a mystery. The correct interpretation is so obvious. Oedipus knows from the beginning that he is ③innocent. He just pretends to be ignorant of the truth. For example, when a servant tells the story of the king’s murder, he uses the word ‘bandits.’ But when Oedipus repeats his story, he uses the ④singular form ‘bandit.’ Sophocles provides clues like this one all the way through the play. Thus, it’s hard to understand why anyone would think that Oedipus did not know the truth about his ⑤crime.

문맥상 적절하지 않은 것은 “innocent”이며, “guilty”(죄가 있는)로 바꿔야 한다.
필자는 오이디푸스가 처음부터 진실을 알고 “He just pretends to be ignorant of the truth”(모르는 척할 뿐이다)라고 주장한다. 또한 마지막 문장도 그가 자기 “crime”(범죄)의 진실을 알았다고 본다. 따라서 그가 아는 것은 결백이 아니라 자신의 유죄다.
“guilt”(죄): 처음부터 자신의 죄를 알았다는 입장을 나타내는 말로 적절하다.
“ignored”(무시했다): 수수께끼를 푸는 똑똑한 인물이 증거를 무시했을 리 없다는 맥락에 맞다.
“singular”(단수의): “bandits”를 “bandit”으로 바꿔 말했다는 설명에 맞다.
“crime”(범죄): 왕을 살해한 행위를 가리켜 적절하다.
