Select the correct text in the passage.

Which line from the passage best supports the inference that the author believes a female is better suited for recognizing love?
Why Was Cupid a Boy?
by William Blake
Why was Cupid a boy.
And why a boy was he?
He should have been a girl,
For aught that I can see.
5
For he shoots with his bow,
And the girl shoots with her eye,
And they both are merry and glad,
And laugh when we do cry.
And to make Cupid a boy
10 Was the Cupid girl's mocking plan
For a boy can't interpret the thing
Till he is become a man.
And then he's so piercid with cares.
And wounded with arrowy smarts,
15 That the whole business of his life
Athts reserved
