Fox hunting and cricket are not professional activities for the upper class (the proof is “amusements”); they are hobbies, amusements, or diversions, that is, disportments. Vocations and professions both contradict the idea of these activities as “amusements.” Fox hunting and cricket are not examples of canards, which are unfounded rumors or stories, so that choice does not fit. Stereotypes is a trap, since stereotypes of the upper class might have them constantly engaging in such disportments.
Answer: Disportments.
