What is the meaning of shadow as used in line 15?

Traveler  

Knight

Ghost

Cloud

Answer: Ghost

Explanation:

Poe uses the word "shadow" several times throughout the poem, but it has different meanings each time: "In sunshine and in shadow," "his heart a shadow," "the Valley of the Shadow."

In the fifteenth line he refers to "a pilgrim shadow." In this case the shadow represents a ghost to whom the main character of the poem asks for help to find the legendary El Dorado, which he has been trying to find his whole life.
