GRE Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8026
Question 1
This poetry is not _______; it is more likely to appeal to an international audience than poetry built around strictly regional themes.
  • familiar
  • democratic
  • technical
  • provincial✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
The blank describes poetry that is not internationally appealing — i.e., narrowly local. Provincial means narrow-minded or limited to a local area, which directly contrasts with 'international audience.' 'Familiar,' 'democratic,' and 'technical' do not logically contrast with having international appeal.
