To determine which definition of "profound" best fits its use in "The Tell-Tale Heart" in paragraph 4, you would need to consider the context in which it appears. Without the specific text of paragraph 4, I can offer some guidance on making your decision based on general usage.
- If "profound" relates to insight or understanding, choose Definition 1.
- If it indicates strong feelings or intensity, go with Definition 2.
- If the context suggests something that has extensive implications or is extensive in scope, select Definition 3.
- If it refers to something that is at a great depth, then Definition 4 would be appropriate.
If you can provide the text of paragraph 4, I could help you narrow it down further!
