Correct Answer: moonless


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:

In the context of describing the night, the sentence needs an adjective that conveys both the absence of light and darkness. The word moonless fits this requirement. A moonless night is one where the moon is not visible, suggesting darkness and quietude.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Glimmer: This term refers to a faint or wavering light.
  • Flasher: This term typically refers to something that flashes or emits brief bursts of light.
  • Riding: This term means the action of sitting on and controlling the movement of a horse or other animal.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: It was past the mid-hour of the night, and was quite moonless and dark.
