Question 4 : Read the poem carefully, and answer the following question.

I smiled at you because I thought that you
Were someone else; you smiled back; and there
grew
Between two strangers in a library
Something that seems like love; but you loved
me
(If that's the word) because you thought that I
Was other than I was. And by and by
We found we'd been mistaken all the while
From that first glance, that first mistaken smile

Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the poem?

Explanatory Answer

The poem given talks about strangers falling in love due to smiles exchanged in a library, mistaking each other's identity, and later realizing that it was all a mistake. The poem does not talk about falling in love with one's own self. So, option B is the correct choice.

The answer is 'We don't fall in love with others but with ourselves.'

Choice B is the correct answer.
