Which of the following is NOT used appropriately in the context?
In 1930, the English economist John Maynard Keynes took a break from writing about the problems of the interwar economy and indulged in a bit of ①futurology. In an essay entitled “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren,” he ②speculated that by the year 2030 capital investment and technological progress would have raised living standards as much as eightfold, creating a society so rich that people would work as little as fifteen hours a week, devoting the rest of their time to leisure and other “non-economic purposes.” As striving for greater affluence ③loomed, he predicted, “the love of money as a possession ... will be recognized for what it is, a somewhat disgusting ④morbidity.” This transformation hasn’t taken place yet, and most economic policymakers remain committed to ⑤maximizing the rate of economic growth.

문맥상 부적절한 말은 “loomed”(어렴풋이 다가왔다)이다.
케인스는 풍요로워져 일을 덜 하고 돈에 대한 사랑이 병적인 것으로 인식되는 사회를 예측했다. 따라서 더 큰 풍요를 향한 노력은 “waned”(약해졌다)처럼 사그라드는 뜻이어야 한다.
“futurology”(미래학): 2030년을 내다보는 에세이이므로 적절하다.
“speculated”(추측했다): 미래를 예측하는 내용이므로 적절하다.
“morbidity”(병적 상태): “somewhat disgusting”(다소 역겨운)과 어울린다.
“maximizing”(극대화하는): 경제 성장을 추구하는 정책 입안자들을 설명하므로 적절하다.
