In the extract the poet has compared :

  • A.Man with the Earth.
  • B.World with the Earth.
  • C.World with the air.
  • D.the Earth with the air.

Answer: A

In the extract the poet has compared man with the Earth.

In the last stanza the speaker says 'You are so great and I am so small', then hears a whisper: 'You are more than the Earth, though you are such a dot, you can love and think, and the Earth cannot'. The comparison is between the human being, who can love and think, and the Earth.

The world and the Earth are the same thing here, so they are not compared with each other, and the air is described in the second stanza but never set against the world or the Earth.
