Correct Answer: zenith


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Top refers to the highest point, and in this case, the sentence describes the sky being alight from the highest point to the horizon. Zenith specifically denotes the highest point reached in the sky, especially by a celestial body, aligning with the intended meaning of the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • A summit is the highest point of a hill or mountain.

  • Start is the beginning or commencement.

  • The base is the bottom or lowest part of something.

Therefore, the correct answer is zenith.
