Which word would you use to describe an idea that has spread across many places?

• A. Widespread
• B. Narrow-minded
• C. Isolated
• D. Unique

Answer: (A)

Describing how broadly an idea has spread is about its reach across many places. Widespread is the right choice because it specifically signals that something is common or present in a large area or among many people. It conveys pervasiveness, not exclusivity or confinement. For example: “The idea of recycling has become widespread.”

Narrow-minded relates to a stuck, prejudiced attitude rather than how far an idea travels. Isolated suggests being separated or few in number, not widely distributed. Unique means one-of-a-kind, which is the opposite of spreading widely.
