C) You will be the guide if your life is filled with love. D) With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.

Answer 1

Answer:

The inference you can make from the comparison of lines two and five is:

D) With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.

Explanation:

The lines we are analyzing here were taken from the poem "On Love" by Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American poet and essayist.

According to the lines, we cannot possess love. Love is not only independent, but it also the one in charge. Once we find love, it commands our lives instead of being commanded by us. With that in mind, we can easily choose letter D as the correct option: With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.
