Read the lines from the poem "Gawayne and the Green Knight: A Fairy Tale."

When two hearts meet in a dim solitude,

That thrills the soul e'en to the finger-tips,

And brings the heart's dear secrets to the lips.

B). The student could use the root sol-, which is also found in solo, to infer that solitude means "state of being alone."

Explanation:

As per the question, option B i. e. 'The student could use the root sol-, which is also found in solo, to infer that solitude means 'state of being alone' exemplifies the response that most appropriately reflects how the student would be able to determine the meaning of the word 'solitude.' The student would deduce the meaning of the unfamiliar word 'solitude' by looking at the context clues and the information about the root word 'solitude' in reference materials that it implies 'loneliness.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.
