Question

(i) What alone will not kill a tree?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the poem 'On Killing a Tree' Give Patel says that if a tree is hacked repeatedly, this alone will not be able to kill a tree. The bleeding bark will heal as 'curled green twigs' and miniature boughs of the tree will grow from the bark. To kill a tree, the root of the tree should be pulled out of the earth.
