martins team welcomed the kind new interlopers to their basketball game.
deiondres recalcitrant attitude was always getting him in trouble with his mom, who wont allow backtalk.
lawrence rhapsodized his disappointment in the concert with a sigh and a shrug.
when wilsons record snapped in half, he was bummed that it was utilitarian now.

Explanation:

1. Analyze "interlopers": Interlopers are people who intrude or interfere, so a team wouldn't "welcome" interlopers, making the first option incorrect.
2. Analyze "recalcitrant": Recalcitrant means stubbornly uncooperative or defiant. A recalcitrant attitude (defiant) causing trouble with a mom who dislikes backtalk is logical.
3. Analyze "rhapsodized": Rhapsodize means to speak or write enthusiastically, but "disappointment" can't be rhapsodized, so the third option is wrong.
4. Analyze "utilitarian": Utilitarian refers to practicality, and a broken record being "utilitarian" makes no sense, so the fourth option is incorrect.

Answer:

Deiondre's recalcitrant attitude was always getting him in trouble with his mom, who won't allow backtalk.
