Question

the following text is adapted from the 1895 poem \shadow river\ by emily pauline johnson (tekahionwake). the speaker is looking at the reflections of plants in a river. the little fern - leaf, bending upon the brink, its green reflection greets, and kisses soft the shadow that it meets with touch so fine, the border line the keenest vision cant define; so perfect is the blending. as used in the text, what does the word \define\ most nearly mean? a perceive b abbreviate c restate d explain

Explanation:

The text describes a soft - edged reflection where the keenest vision can't make out a clear boundary. "Define" here means to perceive or discern clearly, as the vision is unable to clearly make out the border line due to the soft blending.

Answer:

A. Perceive
