    Solution

    PLAIN means a flat tract of land; 1 uses this word to convey how the flat northern region had a similar climate to that of the rest of the West Midlands. PLAIN also means simple; 2 uses this word to convey the style of Raleigh’s writing. Thus, (b) is the right answer. 3 is incorrect as it confuses PLANE (aircraft) with PLAIN; the sentence talks of an aircraft crash.
