Comprehension Passage

Direction: Read the poem given below and answer the questions by selecting the most appropriate options.

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.

I see I swallow immediately

Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.

I am not cruel, only truthful,

The eye of a little god, four-cornered.

Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.

It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long

I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.

Faces and darkness separate us over and over.

 

Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,

Searching my reaches for what she really is.

Then shr turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.

I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.

She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.

I am important to her. She comes and goes.

Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.

In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman

Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

In the second stanza of the poem, the mirror has:

1
caused the women to grow old.
2
witnessed the women as growing old.
3
lied to the old woman
4
showed the women her real place.
