In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the four alternatives.
For me the _________ and the chill of those nights
Darkness
The blank follows "the" and is parallel to the noun "chill" via the structure "the ___ and the chill." Parallelism requires a noun. Among the options, only Darkness is a noun denoting a condition of the night. "Dark" is primarily an adjective; "darkly" is an adverb; "darker" is comparative — none fit the parallel noun slot.
