विकल्प

• Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.

• Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.

• Statement 1 is the reason for Statement 2.

• Statement 2 is a contradiction of Statement 1.

Answer 1

Statement I is the reason for Statement 2.

Explanation:

The mite is seen by the poet in A Considerable Speck to run, creep, falter, hesitate, and cower (Statement 1). The poet comes to understand that it is a sentient being as a result of these actions (Statement 2). Thus, Statement 2 is explained or caused by Statement 1.
