overly patriotic; nationalistic

• A. Cosmopolitan
• B. Indifferent
• C. Apathy
• D. Jingoistic

Answer: (D)

The idea here is extreme patriotism—a kind of nationalist fervor that can be aggressive or bellicose. The word that fits this sense best is jingoistic, which means an intense, often belligerent, form of patriotism or nationalism. It isn’t just pride in one’s country; it also carries a confrontational edge and a mindset that other nations must be challenged or put down.

Cosmopolitan describes someone open to cultures around the world and not tied to one nation’s interests, so it’s essentially the opposite of a narrow, overly patriotic stance. Indifferent and apathy both describe a lack of interest or concern, which again doesn’t capture the active, combative pride implied by the term in question.
