Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A

narrow

B

sell

C

ignore

D

diversify

Correct Answer: D

Choice D is the best answer. The passage describes acquiring works from "underrepresented regions" for diverse audiences. "Diversify" means to add variety, fitting this expansion of representation.

Choice A is incorrect because "narrow" is the opposite of expanding. Choice B is incorrect because "sell" contradicts acquiring. Choice C is incorrect because "ignore" contradicts acquiring new works.
