sadly, in our celebrity - obsessed culture, professional athletes make ______ amount of money while professional educators make little.
word bank:
profound, fetter, banal, dense, subject, counterpart, establish, ally, censor, mediocre, affrontery, fallacious, illusory, garish

Explanation:

We need to find a word from the word bank that describes the amount of money professional athletes make, contrasting with "little" for educators. "Fabulou s" (assuming a typo, likely "fabulous") or "inordinate" could fit, but looking at the word bank, "inordinate" means excessive, but more likely "fabulous" (but the word bank has "fabulous"? Wait, the word bank has "fabulous"? Wait the word bank given: "influential, fetive (maybe festive? No, maybe "fictive"? Wait no, the user's word bank: "influential, fetive, banal, dense, subject, contempt, establish, ally, conic, inordinate, affrontery, fabulous, illusory, garish". Wait, "fabulous" means extremely large or great, so "fabulous" would fit as athletes make a fabulous (great) amount vs educators little. Wait, or "inordinate" (excessive). But let's check the context: "in our celebrity - obsessed culture, professional athletes make ____ amount of money while professional educators make little". So we need a word that means a large amount. "Fabulous" means very great, so that makes sense. Wait, maybe "inordinate" is also possible, but "fabulous" is more about the size being great. Alternatively, "inordinate" means beyond normal, excessive. But let's check the word bank. The word "fabulous" is in the word bank (assuming the user's word bank has "fabulous"). So the correct word should be "fabulous" (or maybe "inordinate", but let's see: "fabulous amount" means a very large, impressive amount, which contrasts with "little" for educators.

Answer:

fabulous
