Reap can be defined as which option?

• A. To cut crops
• B. Gather or take (a crop, harvest, etc.) by cutting
• C. To sow seeds
• D. To harvest your efforts without effort

Answer: (B)

Reap is about gathering the harvest from crops, usually by cutting the stalks. That precise sense is captured by the option that describes gathering or taking a crop by cutting. It reflects the agricultural action of cutting and collecting mature crops. The other options miss or distort this idea: sowing seeds is the opposite of reaping, and the notion of “harvesting your efforts without effort” is not how the word is used, though there is a common figurative phrase about reaping rewards or reaping what you sow.
