II. It takes much time to kill a tree, (1x4=4marks)
Not a simple jab of the knife
Will do it. It has grown
Slowly consuming the earth,
Rising out of it, feeding
Upon its crust, absorbing
Years of sunlight, air, water,
And out of its leprous hide
Sprouting leaves.
(a)Why does it take so much time to kill a tree?
(b) What does it consume?
(c) What does a tree absorb?
(d) Explain “leprous hide”.

Answer:

For a tree to be killed, the root has to be uprooted, and it has to be scorched and choked in sun and air. This process takes much time and it requires a lot of effort. ... ... hide means skin which(here) stands for tree'bark so,leprous hide stands for tree's discoloured bark.
