Question

Read the excerpt from "A Century Ride."

It seemed to coax her, to whisper of the long, lonely
stretch ahead, of the Indians in their tepees, in the
hollow; of a host of vague and nameless terrors; of
how lonely and weary and defenseless she was, on
that vast plain, twenty-five miles-twenty-five miles-
and the half-way house flashed past and was soon left
far behind!
Which word in the excerpt helps the reader to
determine the meaning of "vague"?
whisper
lonely
Onameless
O far

The word in the excerpt helps the reader to determine the meaning of "vague" is "nameless".

This option is correct because it's synonymous to "vague". When something is unclear, indistinct and without name, we say it is vague. So, "nameless" quickly helps the reader to determine the meaning of "vague".
