“I’ll give him a trail to follow,” muttered Rainsford, and he struck off from the rude path he had been following into the trackless wilderness. The word rude has several different meanings. Which one is being used in the previous passage?

indecent
roughly made
strong and energetic
ill-mannered

The question is right about the word "rude" having more than one meaning, but in this case rude means roughly made.

Explanation: The answer is roughly made because the story mentions the path, and while it mentions Rainsford, it doesn't mention his behavior, or how he's feeling, so the answer wouldn't be ill-mannered. The answer isn't indecisive either because no one is making a decision of any kind, and no one mentions being confused in the story either. The answer isn't strong or energetic because again, no one talks about a fun moment, or some kind of happiness so it isn't that one. In the story they are mainly talking about the path, so the more something is mentioned in a story, the more likely it will be the answer.
