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?

  1. The idea of love is different for the parties involved.
  2. We don't fall in love with others but with ourselves.
  3. Love may start with small acts like glancing and smiling.
  4. We fall in love with strangers.
  5. We make mistakes in love.
