Vocabulary
extend or expand
Hello.
I have a question.
Which is correct, to extend my cultural scope or to expand my cultural scope?
I think the latter is correct, but I have seen both used in the newspaper.
Thank you.

Expand makes more sense. It implies growing outward in every direction. Extend implies something lengthening in a straight line, which doesn't make much sense in terms of 'scope'.
