Correct Answer: rein


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

A rein is a strap or rope used to control and guide a horse or other animal, held in the hands of the rider. In this context, rein is the correct word, as it makes sense for the princess to hold the reins in her hands when riding a horse.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Rain: precipitation in the form of water droplets that fall from the sky.

  • Ran: The past tense of the verb "run", meaning to move swiftly on foot.

  • Reign: The period during which a monarch or ruler holds power or authority.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The Princess firmly held the rein in her hands."
