Choose the one that is closest in meaning to the underlined word.
Is talent a bad thing? Are we all equally talented? No and no. The ability to quickly climb the learning curve of any skill is obviously a very good thing, and, like it or not, some of us are better at it than others. So why, then, is it such a bad thing to favor “naturals” over “strivers”? What’s the downside of television shows like America’s Got Talent, The X Factor, and Child Genius? Why shouldn’t we separate children as young as seven or eight into two groups: those few children who are “gifted and talented” and the many, many more who aren’t? What harm is there, really, in a talent show being named a “talent show”? In my view, the biggest reason a preoccupation with talent can be harmful is simple: By shining our spotlight on talent, we risk leaving everything else in the shadows. We inadvertently send the message that these other factors—including grit—don’t matter as much as they really do.

concomitantly

surreptitiously

밑줄 친 “inadvertently”(무심코, 의도치 않게)와 의미가 가장 가까운 것은 “unintentionally”(고의 아니게)이다.
재능에 “spotlight”(스포트라이트)를 비추다 보면 다른 요소를 그늘에 남길 “risk”(위험)가 있다고 했다. 그 결과 투지 같은 요소가 덜 중요하다는 메시지를 의도와 달리 보내게 된다는 뜻이다.
“deliberately”(고의로): 밑줄 어휘와 반대되는 뜻이다.
“incoherently”(일관성 없이): 메시지의 전달 의도와 무관한 뜻이다.
“concomitantly”(부수적으로): 동시에 수반됨을 뜻할 뿐 의도 여부를 나타내지 않는다.
“surreptitiously”(은밀하게): 의도를 숨기고 한다는 뜻이라 맞지 않는다.
