The best definition of the word “hallow" is to treat as holy or sacred.

Explanation:

The word hallow is used in "Within a farewell to arms" by Ernest Hemingway in the following excerpt:

I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory and the sacrifices were like the stockyards at Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it. There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. Certain numbers were the same way and certain dates and these with the names of the places were all you could say and have them mean anything. Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the numbers of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates.

It mentions how there was not glory and how there was anything sacred either, it uses the original meaning of the word that is to sanctify something, then by being used next to the name of something it would mean that the land is holly.

it might be feelings and action sorry if i am wrong

the answer is a.
