Correct Answer:
Option B – didactic
Explanation
This highlights that as soon as we start having a little knowledge, it intoxicates us with pride and arrogance. However, as soon as a person becomes more knowledgeable, he becomes sober. The poet has beautifully used metaphors to convey that when a person does not get more knowledge and does not become an expert, he often becomes haughty and mislead others. Didacticism is defined as the type of literature that is meant to instruct or teach something.
