Answer: D

PASSAGE

The conference attracted _____ participants from around the globe.

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

A. similar

B. local

C. few

D. diverse✓ Correct

Detailed Answer Explanation

Choice D is the best answer. "Diverse" is correct because it means "showing variety; different." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.

Why others are wrong: A ("Similar" means "resembling each other," which doesn't fit the context.), B ("Local" means "relating to a particular place," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("Few" means "not many," which doesn't fit the context.).
