Which of the following is NOT used appropriately in the context?
Sport ①reflects the norms and values of the general culture of a society. In American culture, as in most world cultures, winning and success are highly ②valued commodities. Sport can serve as an excellent exemplar of the cherished “win-at-all-costs” philosophy. This prevailing attitude often leads to elitism, racism, nationalism, extreme competitiveness, abuse of drugs (including performance- enhancing drugs), gambling, and a number of other ③deviant behaviors. However, the true spirit of sport often reveals itself as well. The notions of cooperation and team work, fair play, sportsmanship, hard work, dedication, reaching to achieve personal excellence, obedience to rules, commitment and loyalty are also revered values of American society, and that is, perhaps, the ④primary reason that Americans love sports so much. Despite the highly publicized negative sport stories that are often sensationalized by the mass media, there are far more positive sport-related stories which help to ⑤disprove that our support of our favorite teams and athletes is not a wasted endeavor.

문맥에 맞지 않는 말은 “disprove”(틀렸음을 입증하다)이며, “prove”(입증하다)로 바꿔야 한다.
“that our support … is not a wasted endeavor”(응원이 헛된 노력이 아니라는 것)는 필자의 주장이다. 긍정적인 스포츠 이야기가 많다는 내용은 이 주장을 뒷받침하므로, 부정하는 말은 흐름에 어긋난다.
“reflects”(반영하다): 스포츠가 사회 문화의 규범과 가치를 반영한다는 첫 문장의 내용에 맞다.
“valued”(가치 있게 여겨지는): 승리와 성공이 높이 평가되는 “commodities”라는 뜻으로 자연스럽다.
“deviant”(일탈적인): 앞서 나열한 약물 남용·도박 같은 행동을 묶어 표현하는 말로 적절하다.
“primary”(주된): 미국인이 스포츠를 사랑하는 주된 이유라는 뜻으로 자연스럽다.
