OE
eclectic, multifarious In this sentence, the word “surprisingly” is functioning as a kind of reversal signal, disagreeing with the portion before the comma. There, you learn that the woman in question had a “sheltered upbringing” and a “limited breadth of experience.” Your blank should be the opposite of that. A good fill-in would be varied or not limited. Shallow and facile are an incorrect pair, in that both can mean “superficial.” Profound has the right spin, but it isn’t the opposite of “limited” or “sheltered.” Callow (immature or inexperienced) has no relationship with the other choices, and it incorrectly agrees with “limited breadth of experience.”
