Question

Which childhood incident does the poet remember?
The poet remembers the childhood incident when __________.

• A. He was caught with his sandy hands
• B. He uncurled small sandy fists
• C. He saw a chain snatching incident
• D. He threw sand in the eyes of a boy

Answer 1

The correct option is D He threw sand in the eyes of a boy

Option D is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the first stanza of the poem that - 'I remember picking up a fistful of sand, smooth crystals, like hourglass sand and throwing it into the eyes of a boy.'

There is no evidence in the poem to suggest that Options A, B and C are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
