Explanation
Narrow means not wide, with very little space from side to side. It describes something that is thin in width or limited in amount. For example, the street is too narrow for two cars. As a verb, it means to make something less wide, like the workers narrowed the road. It can also mean to reduce choices; for example, they narrowed the list of students to the top ten.
