Answer 1

Answer:

1) The poet says that in order to kill the tree, it has to be uprooted. One has to separate the tree from the Earth which supports it. The roots of the tree bind the tree with the soil in the pit of the Earth. From there, the most sensitive and hidden part of the tree – the roots have to be detached.

2) “Earth cave” refers to the deep area under the ground that holds the roots and keeps the tree standing tall and protects it from adversities such as heavy rainfall or storm.

3) The strength of the tree lies in its roots. Thus, the phrase “the strength of the tree exposed” refers to the roots of the tree being exposed to sunlight and air after pulling the tree out of the ground. This would ultimately lead to the death of the tree.

4) the phrase “the strength of the tree exposed” refers to the roots of the tree being exposed to sunlight and air after removing it from the ground. This would eventually lead the tree to die. To kill the tree, these roots have to be removed from the soil. Once the roots are separated, the tree starts to die.
