Answer 2

‘Vale profound’ means b. valley.

• The question is from the poem ‘The Solitary Reaper’ by William Wordsworth.
• ‘Vale’ is an archaic (meaning an old English word that is not commonly used during the modern times)word which means ‘valley’.
• Poets used this word in their creations.
• Also, the word ‘profound’ means ‘deep’.
• Using ‘deep’ with all the options, we get:

            a. deep mountain  

             b. deep valley

             c. deep road

             d. deep field.

• Of these, only ‘deep valley’ makes sense.
• Therefore, b. valley is the right answer.

Tip: Use the context to get to the answer.
