The other day we heard someone smilingly refer to poets as dreamers. Now, it is accurate to refer to poets as dreamers, but it is not discerning to infer, as this person did, that the dreams of poets have no practical value beyond the realm of literary diversion, The truth is that poets are just as practical as people who build bridges or look into microscopes, and just as close to reality and truth. Where they differ from the logician and the scientist is in the temporal sense alone; they are ahead of their time, whereas logicians and scientists are abreast with their time. We must not be so superficial that we fail to discern the practicability of dreams.

Correct answer: D
Correct Answer : Option D
Explanation –
In the above passage, the poets have been directly compared to logicians and scientists. While the word 'engineers' has not been used in the passage, poets have been compared to people who build bridges and hence we can infer option 3 to also be correct.
So, all the given options are correct and the answer will be option 4 all of the above.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
