Imperialism resulted in ethnic groups that were once unacquainted with each other now living in the same nation. The correct answer will reflect the first part of the story — that these nations were not in close contact. Choice(B)-parochial (meaning narrow-minded and restricted to new ideas) and Choice(E)-illiberal (meaning close-minded and intolerant ) both mean restricted, but they are incorrect because they refer to the restriction of opinions rather than of any physical space. Choice (C)-sectarian (meaning a subgroup of a larger group) and Choice(F)-catholic (meaning including a wide variety of things or all-embracing) are the opposite of the idea or groups not in close contact. The correct answers are Choice(A)-sequestered (meaning secluded from others) and Choice(C)-insular (meaning isolated).
