The passage explains that Seth expected a cosmopolitan community, meaning he expected diversity. The fact that he was confounded means that he experienced the opposite of diversity, which would most closely match insularity. C

Quote:
C The phrase what he thought would be cosmopolitan suggests that the community wasn’t what Seth expected. Insular (narrow-minded or concerned only with local matters) is the opposite of cosmopolitan (sophisticated, broad in outlook, international in scope). The other choices don’t follow the logic of the sentence.
