here, you could approach this question with a sort of critical reasoning.

This way, you stretch your mental muscles and pick the right answer using your flexibility. That is this test is all about.

To confirm the survey, or for being valid, a survey must compare similar things or clusters. As such, we must have homogeneous plots.

D is the best. provincial is not the most logic answer here

Researchers from the University of Southampton concluded that ethnic differences are likely not the cause of mutual mistrust, citing government surveys that show that cooperation and trust are no higher in racially __________ neighborhoods than in mixed communities.

Blank (i)
(A) militant
(B) parochial
(C) provincial
(D) homogeneous
(E) sectarian


Blank is before the comparison..................than in mixed communities ............Homogeneous ........similar

thus D is the best.

I was confused between C or D?

Provincial is related to state, region etc. Hence I thought this would be the answer. Can anyone assist on this.


The word next to the blank is "neighborhoods". Provincial neighborhoods does not make sense in the context.
And since we need to find the opposite of "mixed communities", homogeneous neighborhoods seems like a more probable answer here.
Hope it helps!
