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.
