Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Have a strong sense of their own inferiority during school years

In the first sentence of the passage, the author says that all the poetry lovers he had met were introverts and that he hadn't met anyone who wasn't. He goes on to say that at school in particular, poetry lovers tend to feel they are inferior. Hence, our answer A is correct.

The passage doesn't support the other options. They can be rejected.
