The correct answer is A: It is hard to judge people's impressions, and it is challenging to exceed your own expectations.

Explanation:

In the poem "The Prediction", the author describes how people's impressions are hard to judge and they often can be misunderstood as our own expectations. The person from the poem wasn't sure if his meeting would go well, he was anxious and nervous about people and their reaction on him. However, he gave his best to behave well, he even tried to smile, although he felt uncomfortable.

He tried to judge people's impressions, as same as they tried to judge his, but people eventually stopped visiting him, and he was happy because he was right about his assumption that it would not go well, although he didn't even try to exceed its own expectations.
