Answer 2

Answer:

Animals are self-reliant is a true statement.

Animals quarrel for their possessions is a false statement.

Animals do not worship other animals is a true statement.

Humans have given up many good qualities is a true statement.

Animals suffer humiliation is a false statement.

The poet has retained all his natural virtues is a false statement.

Explanation:

• This is an extract from the poem 'Animals'.
• The poet says that animals do not depend on anyone else, they feed themselves and live on their own.
• Animals are satisfied creatures, they do not desire to possess materialistic things or luxuries thus, they have no wish to fight for such things.
• Animals do not possess the notion of praying or worshiping.
• Furthermore, the poet says that humans have given up so many good qualities only for their own selfish motive of retaining materialistic objects.
• The poet portrays that among animals, no one is respected and no one is unhappy, that is why they do not suffer humiliation.
• The poet has not retained all his natural virtues, similar to other humans he has also committed sins and has ran behind material things.

Hence, the given statements are - 'true, false, true, true, false and false'.
