    Solution

    The adjective ‘embedded’ means ‘fixed into the surface of something’. It is the correct word here. Ethos- the set of beliefs, ideas, etc. about the social behaviour and relationships of a person or group. Semblance- a situation or condition that is similar to what is wanted or expected, but is not exactly as hoped for. Retrograde- returning to older and worse conditions, methods, ideas, etc.
