Which of the following is NOT used appropriately in the context?
One result of ①comparative studies of the behavior, output and outcome of democracies has been that simple generalizations do not fit. An example is the widespread belief that majoritarian democracies of the U.S. or British brand are superior to all other forms of democracy. Majoritarian democracies were long regarded as more stable, fitter for survival even under ②adverse circumstances such as during the interwar period and World War II, and better at problem solving. That belief largely ③mirrored the survival of the English-speaking democracies in the 1920s and 1930s as opposed to the breakdown of a wide variety of democratic states and the rise of Fascism in Italy and of National Socialism in Germany and Austria in this period. Moreover, a majoritarian democracy of the Westminster type in particular was often regarded as a guarantee of, if not the only road to, full parliamentary sovereignty, efficient government formation, clear-cut divisions of labor between ④incumbent and opposition parties, transparency, accountability and the capacity to respond to new challenges and opportunities in an innovative fashion or, alternatively, as a guarantee of checks and balances ⑤demolishing the legislature and the executive.

문맥상 부적절한 말은 “demolishing”(파괴하는)이다.
이 구절은 다수결 민주주의가 “a guarantee of checks and balances”(견제와 균형의 보장)라는 내용이다. 입법부와 행정부를 파괴한다는 말은 맞지 않으므로 “between”(사이의) 같은 표현이 와야 한다.
“comparative”(비교의): 민주주의들의 행태·성과를 견주는 연구이므로 적절하다.
“adverse”(불리한): 뒤의 전간기와 제2차 세계대전이 예시이므로 적절하다.
“mirrored”(반영했다): 그 믿음이 영어권 민주주의의 생존을 반영했다는 뜻으로 적절하다.
“incumbent”(현직의, 집권한): “opposition parties”(야당)와 대비되므로 적절하다.
