The message of the sentence is that the media can be used in multiple ways; some people use media in one way while others use media in another way. One way is disruptive to society, but the other way - the contrast to disruptive - is exemplified by fashion and hairstyle trends. Choice (C)-injurious (meaning to cause harm) is incorrect; this word provides a similar idea to disruptive or destructive, and we need a word that means the opposite. Choice(E)-equivocal (meaning doubtful or uncertain) is incorrect as the sentence describes very certain ways the media influences others. Choice(B)-aberrant (meaning deviating from the normal) and Choice(E)-exorbitant (meaning exceeding or outside of customary limits) do not fit the scope of the sentence; using media to forward fashion trends is actually quite normal. The correct answers are (A)innocuous - meaning harmless and (B) banal - meaning commonplace, ordinary, or usual. These two words do not have exactly the same meaning, but both of them fit into the sentence in a way that makes sense overall.
