Solution
ABBAA is the correct option.
1st sentence: 'encounter' means 'come across'; while 'counter' means 'to oppose'
2nd sentence: 'differences' is a noun which needs an adjective for the desired meaning. 'Culture' is itself a noun.
3rd sentence: 'conscious’ means ‘aware’ but the meaning required here is ‘very clear’ or understood’ or ‘obvious’
4th sentence: The academic proposed an ‘influential’ theory - which had an effect on society - rather than’ dire’ or horrible theory.
5th sentence: cultural diversity, rather than cultural division is a theory
