Correct Answer: I think


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The past tense thought should be used because it refers to a past action. The speaker is reflecting on their past thoughts or impressions about the person's intelligence. The past tense thought helps to convey the idea that the speaker's initial impression or judgment occurred before the current moment.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: She is not as smart as I thought at first.
