The correct answer is D. B would have been the correct answer if the object of comparison was a singular entity. Here, we are talking about the roads which are plural.

Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow :
When I’m An Old Lady
When I’m an old lady, I’ll live with each kid, And bring so much happiness just as they did. I want to pay back all the joy they’ve provided. Returning each deed. Oh, they’ll be so excited! I’ll write on the walls with reds, whites and blues, And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes, I’ll drink from the carton and then leave it out. I’ll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they’ll shout. When they’re on the phone and just out of reach, I’ll get into things like sugar and bleach. Oh, they’ll snap their fingers and then shake their head, And when that is done, I’ll hide under the bed. When they cook dinner and call me to eat, I’ll not eat my green beans and salad or meat. I’ll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table, And when they get angry I’ll run if I’m able. I’ll sit close to the T.V., through the channels I’ll click I’ll cross both eyes just to see if they stick I’ll take off my socks and throw one away, And play in the mud till the end of the day. And later in bed, I’ll lay back and sigh, I’ll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes. My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping. And say with a groan, “She’s so sweet when she’s sleeping!”
–Barbara Hall
Who is the narrator of the poem?

A A young girl
B An old lady
C The grandmother
D None of these


I wrote option d but they say its option c...but the Pom starts by aging when I’m an old lady...so its a mother who is thinking and thus she is the narrator

Ans 2:

Sara Gandhi from Rustomjee Cambridge International school, Mumbai
Class : Class 8
The answer is young girl because the title says 'when I am an old lady' which means that the narrator is not yet an old lady and the poetry is in future tense.

Ans 3:

Shreyas Gupta from CHIREC International, Hyderabad
Class : Class 8
ya YOUNG GIRL

Ans 4:

Abhinav from BVM Global Bollineni Hillside, Chennai
Class : Class 8
No, the answer is D. This poem came in the ASSET exam and what they said the right answer was it was by a frustrated mother whom her kids kept annoying and that makes the most sense in context.

Ans 5:

Anora from , Indore
Class : Class 9
it should be a young girl because of the creative imagination and because it is in the future tense,the person is not an old lady

The name of the poem itself is “When I am an old lady”. So according to that and the first line, the answer is clearly young girl

Ans 9:

Anora from , Indore
Class : Class 9
it is a young girl because of the creative imagination and because the poem is in the future tense, the narrator cannot be an old lady
