Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the given sentence:
The beautiful __________ of Manali is worth seeing.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → vale
A vale is a valley (a word used mostly in poetry and in place names). The sentence praises the beautiful scenery of Manali, a town in a mountain valley, so vale fits.
Example: Mist lay over the quiet vale at dawn.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: vile — Incorrect. Vile means extremely unpleasant or wicked; it is an adjective and cannot name a place.
Example: The rotting food gave off a vile smell.
Option 2: veil — Incorrect. A veil is a thin cloth that covers the face, or anything that hides something. Vale and veil sound the same, but a vale is a valley and a veil is a covering.
Example: The bride lifted her veil.
Option 4: wail — Incorrect. A wail is a long, loud cry of pain or grief; it is a sound, not a place.
Example: We heard the wail of an ambulance siren.
