1 has a limited width: This is the best choice here. When something is "narrow", it is "not wide" or has a "limited width". This adjective can be used to describe many things, including passage ways and even trousers! In some circumstances it shares a similar meaning with "slim" or "thin". Example: "There is a very narrow gap between my desk and my colleague's desk".
1 is very long: If something is "long", it is "tall" or "big in length". This does not share a similar meaning with the term "narrow".
1 is very wide: If something is "wide" it is "broad" or "has a large width". This is in fact the opposite of the term "narrow".
1 has lots of tall buildings: This is not the best choice here. The fact that a street has tall buildings is unrelated to it being "narrow" or otherwise.
2 is intolerant: This is the best choice here. To be "narrow minded" is to have a limited view-point of an issue, or to be prejudiced. Example: "My parents are very narrow-minded people, and they don't like my boyfriend because he has long hair".
2 wants to fight: Although Sigourney is rather aggressive in this dialogue, the term "narrow-minded" does not describe someone who wants to "fight" or "argue".
2 isn't very intelligent: This is not the best answer here. The term "narrow-minded" does not describe someone who is "stupid" or "not intelligent".
2 is selfish: This is not the best answer here. The term "narrow-minded" does not describe someone who is "selfish" or "thinks only of themselves".
