Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\purple{A}\pink{N}\purple{S}\pink{W}\purple{E}\pink{R}\purple{:}\pink{:}}}$

(i) The three things that cannot happen in a treeless forest are listed below:

• the sitting of a bird on trees,
• the hiding of insects on the trees,
• the sun burying its feet in the shadow of the forest.

(ii) The sun’s ‘feet’ refers to the heat and rays of the sun that fall on the ground. Since there are no trees, there will be no shadow, the sun rays will fall on the ground directly. However, in a forest full of trees, the shadow hides the sun rays and it appears that the sun is burying its feet in the shadow of the trees in the forest.
