다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것을 고르시오.
There is a natural assumption of truth, or a truth bias when humans communicate with one another. In other words, when we’re listening to others or reading their words, our ① automatic belief is that the other person is being honest. This usually works out fine. If you ask someone where the restroom is located or if it’s raining outside, you can generally assume that most people will not tell a ② lie in their responses. Imagine how difficult it would be to converse with someone if you assumed that everything they were telling you was false! Indeed, ③ questioning the truth of a statement and then choosing not to believe it requires additional mental steps. For the most part, humans are “cognitive misers,” which means we tend to conserve as ④ little mental effort as possible in a given situation. It makes sense then, that when we see something online, even if it is fake, our default is not to doubt it, at least at first. We humans are unlikely to ⑤ deny that the information we receive is true, due to our tendency to save mental effort.
