Question

PASSAGE 3
Once upon a time large areas of India were covered with forests full of
numerous kinds of trees. As the population grew trees began to be cut down
for man's use. That is how the wonderful forests described in our ancient
poems came to be destroyed and a great part of our forest wealth was lost
.
Now we are trying to make good the loss and our Government wants trees to
be planted all over the country. A new festival has been started for this purpose;
it is called Vanamahotsava' or 'The Forest Festival'. Since trees are the country's
wealth, we must consider it our sacred duty to protect them. We should plant
new trees wherever we can and look after them well.
