Answer 2

In the poem On Killing a Tree on Gieve Patel,  the poet sensitises the reader and highlights the fact that trees are living things. He equates trees with humans to convey that trees must not be cut because destroying trees is just like killing a human being. A tree will not die by only cutting since it regrows from where it is cut. Hence, if it needs to be destroyed, then it has to be uprooted

Explanation:

(a) The poet says that to kill the tree, it has to be uprooted. One has to separate the tree from the Earth that supports it.

(b) The roots of the tree bind (affix) the tree with the soil in the Earth's. From there, the most sensitive and hidden part of the tree, that is,  the roots have to be detached. The roots are white in color and are damp.

(c) Snapped-out
